Broke fuel filter clip! where do I get one?
So I changed my plugs today with no problems, only took about 30 minutes, Its easy with the body lift installed, the passenger side ones you get to by removing your gap guard and theyre right there!
Anyways, I went on to replacing the fuel filter and the first clip I tried prying out and broke it. The other two I realized how simple it was after I came on and looked up the how to
So the two orange clips are fine and the hose with the green clip (hopefully just a return) I have held on by a zip tie. I called autozone and advanced auto and they do not carry the clip. Where can I get one? Online? Or would a ford dealer have one? Or does anyone have one lying around they can mail me? Hopefully they are something I can snap in and doesnt require replacing the whole hose.

the dealer told me there is no where I can get the clip, it is built into the hose they only sell black and white clips, and only green will fit. I have to replace the hose, which is over $300.
Couldn't I cut the end of the hose off and put a different type of connector on?

Temporary fix
If you are unable to get a clip the simplest way to rig it till you can get the clip is to shove a zip tie where the clip would go and make shore it's the width of the clip, then zip it up. This will hold and you will not have any leaks. But still replace the clip as soon as you can.
