Several years ago, I noticed rapid fuel depletion on my '79 bus.  I pulled
into a small-town service station to take a look, and found a leaking fuel
line on one of the fuel rails.  No luck finding any hose in that town, and I
didn't have any with me.  I ended up cutting the clamp off my jumper cables,
and stripped about 8 inches of the insulation from one of the cables.  I had
new clamps, and it worked until I got to a town with a parts store.
Sometimes you just gotta improvise!
