I've been smelling gas for a few days. Looked under the car today and saw a few drips of gas coming off one of the fuel lines while I was idling. Don't know which line yet. It's dripping about a foot or so infront of the rear driver's side tire, where all the lines are.

I need some advice. What's the easiest and cheapest way to fix it? I only need the car to last me until next summer. I'm thinking of cutting the bad area out and using high pressure rubber fuel injection hose. Any other ideas? Also, anyone know the outer diameter of the lines(the pressure and return)? Thanks

 

You want to do this repair properly, because the fuel line is under high pressure and can cause a fire.

You should inspect those fuel lines running under the car to determine what and where your fuel leak is coming from. The lines could be rusted and you can have more leaks in the future. Once you determine the condition of the fuel lines, then you will be able to determine the best and safest way to repair them.

 

Pa has just given you good information..don't mess with the lines unless your going to do them the correct way..

Either replacing the line with the new one or, cut the old rusted section out and put in a new section using compression fitting. Do not drive the car with leaking fuel line until it's fix. If you don't have the mechanical experience, you might want to tow it to a shop and have they fix it for you.
