So I replaced all of my plugs with the Motorcraft plugs. The truck is running a bit rough now so I am pulling the coil packs as I might have used too much Dielectric grease and I want to make sure they seat properly. Changing the plugs I broke the top hose off of this part and super glued it. Just broke the damn thing off again. It was brittle to begin with. Was hoping it had something to do with my wipers but tried to search and nothing looked like this. Sorry for the rookie question. 1st pic shows it super glued. It was holding until the 2nd pic showing where I broke again. Same spot.

Winner, winner chicken dinner lol! Your response was timely as well. I traced the hoses and knew from where they went I was going to need to replace that. Not to mention that part causes exactly the rough running I am experiencing. No one had it in stock but will be at the parts store by five today so hopefully I can button this up today. Last time I had the plugs replaced it cost $950 at the dealer. Shops hate that repair so bad they refuse to do it. So I tackled it myself. Wish I would have broken that part. Thanks to everyone for chiming in

What is the hose called that runs off that top port to the other side of the engine? Its been driving me nuts not knowing what its called or the part number that goes with it. OR... do we just get an appropriately sized hose and take the connectors off the old one?
Had one on my last Ranger, and I did the exact same thing. Couldn't get a replacement for a couple days, so I used the dreaded JB Weld. It held fine until the new one came in, so I figured what the hell. Thought I'd just leave it on until it broke and then I'd replace it with the new one in the glove box. Two years later, I had completely forgot about it until I sold the Ranger and discovered the new one still in the glove box. Saw the guy who bought the
Ranger fro ma couple years later... the new one was STILL in the glovebox, and the old one was still holding. Maybe JB Weld isn't so bad after all.

Pick up 2 feet of appropriate ID fuel hose for $3 and call it a day. You don't even need to remove the connectors, as a hose clamp works fine.
