This is a part of the Bijur lubrication system. The tubing is really
tiny, maybe 1/8" OD. It is used to deliver oil to the head.

When disconnecting the head, I may have pulled the tube too hard and
that's the result. It tore off.

What sort of connectors are used in those and how would I fix it once
I get it home?

Looks like the tubing might slide over that nipple , nut compresses it on
the nipple .
Or it might need a plastic compression sleeve . What kind of pressure is on
those one-shot's ? Couple of psi maybe ?

There is a tiny ring..a sacrificial collet that goes on the end of the
tubing and when its forced into the hole by the nut..it snugs around the
tubing. They are a one-shot and you toss the used piece away and buy a
new one. Most "good" hardware stores, and Napa often have these. Ive
also found them at Home Despot.

Looks like minature oil gauge line. Mostly they use compression fittings.

It'll be either 1/8" or 3mm. The compression joint will have a brass ferrule
around the pipe. You should be able to get them from somewhere reasonably
local (my supplier is on the wrong continent for you). If all else fails, you
can turn them up out of a piece of 1/4"-3/8" brass bar in a few minutes,

4MM or 5/32", 5/16" or 8 MM seem rather popular on this side of the pond. Of course the
fittings the tubing connects with tend to be NPT.
