Solution...
With the help of a poster on this forum and several employees of Rovers North, all by phone, I was able to discern the exact location of the fuel rail intake on the rear of the plenum. I was also unaware of the unique fitting end that the fuel line has, (with it's spring release clips). Since this work was done completely 'blind' it was critical that I knew where to feel. It's a 2000 4.6 Bosch engine, so there is almost no room to reach between the firewall and engine to see (let alone, work). But I was finally able to jam my hand in a small space and force it back to the rear of the plenum, beneath the coil pack, and feel around with two fingers. I located the disconnected line and the intake fitting and put the line back on. After a short but successful test run, I was still concerned about another disconnection, (it is a pressurized line). I re-inserted my hand back there and pushed on the fitting, as hard as two fingers can. I heard a 'click' that I hadn't heard the first time, so I hope that the line is now securely attached. But the next step would have been to remove the plenum, just to attach the gas line, so I'm very grateful to those who did take the time and trouble to help me.
I just thought the follow-up message with the solution might be helpful to someone down the line with the same problem.
