Fuel hoses / lines at fuel tank and frame rail woes

Fuel hoses / lines at fuel tank and frame rail woes
1997 Suburban k1500 5.7 :
While dropping the fuel tank, I caused damage to the rusty corroded fuel hoses/line connections that reside along the fuel rail.
I saw fuel drip out from somewhere up there while the tank was still being removed.
Upon investigation of the leak, one of the 3 fuel hoses that come from the frame area snapped off at its connection.
Origin still unknown at this time until I can get my flashlight in there.
It was neither of the 2 rubber fuel hoses that require the 3/4 inch and 5/8/ inch wrenches to disconnect at the fuel tank.
I believe that the snapped hose connection belonged to the canister vapor line : not sure.
Can anyone please confirm my belief?
I feel that I must address the fuel drip by R/R all 3 of the fuel hose lines that reside along the rail.
Can the experts guide me as to what I am facing?
What parts do I need?
I will try to attach some photos Fuel hoses from frame rail;leak in this area. One hose missing, snapped off before photo Corroded fuel hose:line connection at frame rail. Dripped fuel while removing tank , moving fuel hose.
