Well, the DAY AFTER I got my SC bumper on, I find that my car reeks of gas. The fuel lines are leaking just after they come off the tank. It's a '94, so no recall! And yay, it's memorial day weekend! nothing is open tomorrow! And I need my car tuesday!!! AWESOME!
I have the old tank out of my '92 (RIP) that I had them pull out before they towed it for the shield and the straps. Luckily (I hope) They just cut the lines on the tank coming from the pump. So I have sections of the lines running from the pump, to about the bottom of the tank. Enough that I think I can splice the two together. If not a permanent fix, this could be a decent temp fix so that I can safely drive the car tuesday. How could I splice these two together? should I splice the metal lines? or would it be easier/better to splice the rubber tubing (after the break)
I haven't dropped the tank yet, so I don't know the EXACT spot it is leaking from. But it stops after a few minutes, and leaks bad when the car is running, so I'm thinking it is the line(s) going TO the engine, rather than the return line.
Cliffs:
Fuel lines leaking.
Have small section of lines from old car in area where mine is leaking
Can they be spliced? do we have the technology?
