The metal crimp holds on a plug-type cap which seals with an O-ring -- the
crimp has no sealing function except to keep the plug from flying out under
40 psi of fuel pressure.  I have fixed one where the crimp corroded away by
clamping around the circumference with a regular band clamp (US type), then
staking down several points at the edges of the clamp.  If the O-ring is
bad, I'm sure you can find a replacement.  If the body is cracked I
wouldn't mess with it.
