busted fuel rail, fix it?

hi, im an idiot and i busted my fuel rail. lets not get into how, but right in the middle there is a small pinhole in the rail, otherwise it is fine. is there any way i can repair this and i found an s4 fuel rail at the yard, but it seems to be slightly different. are they interchangeable? thanks

What did you do for this to happen? I would sugest finding another s5 fuel rail ust to be safe.

If it was the original rail, you needed a new FPD anyway (part of the rail on the S5), so use this as an excuse for preventative maintenance. If you broke the secondary rail, then ignore this post.

^Disaster waiting to happen. A used fuel rail is cheap and easy to find in the for sale section.
