First, you say the right side ? If you mean the right side of the engine compartment (as viewed with you standing standing in front of and facing your car) that would be the fuel filter; 'inlet' side which feeds fuel into the filter.
Or,
If you mean the "right" side of the engine compartment (as viewed with you sitting in the drivers seat, which BTW, is "mechanic speak" for the right side of your vehical) that would be the fuel filter; 'outlet' side which feeds fuel to the engine fuel-rail/intake.

So, I think your talking about the "left-side" of the fuel filter? ("left side"= as viewed from the drivers seat.)

That fuel line, (the one that is broken) is the one that feeds the fuel-filter, it has a connector at the filter and a connector down below.
Right at the bottom of the firewall.

Just folllow that line back down from the filter about 12 inches or so. Than from underneath the right side of your car you will see it makes a turn and starts to go back to the tank ? Right at that turn is a connection.


Hope this helps ?
