It's best to run a complete new copper tube. Get a flaring tool here:

Subject: Propane lines

Hello vanagon community,

Awhile back I took off the old rusted propane tank and in the process of
doing so, broke the top copper propane line. So right now it's a twisted
mess on the tank end.

Also, the nut came off as well. I have zero experience with flaring and my
question is this: what is the best way to cut that pipe and get the nut back
on so it can be connected to the new Gowesty regulator?
