Exclamation Snapped the fuel line to the fuel filter... need help with parts

I was replacing the fuel filter on my '99 es300, and stupidly twisted the fuel line beneath the filter. Not only is it a moron rookie mistake, but I KNEW better when I started gorilla arming it. So anyway, now I have a completely incapacitated vehicle that I need to repair.

Unfortunately, few people out there are as stupid as me, so there's limited information for this model of car. From what I gather, I need:
  • A tube/pipe cutter (which apparently my FiL has)
  • a tube flaring tool
  • a replacement fuel line
  • and a compression union rated for a decently high psi.
My problem is that I don't know what size compression union to get. I can't seem to find the diameter of the fuel line anywhere! I'm hoping someone here can help me track this down so I don't have to take it somewhere to fix.

Thanks in advance.

There's a thread on TN about this very thing.
