Scott,

Like John said it's more likely the fuel accumulator, one of the fuel
hoses that go into it is a high pressure, we are talking about 50-60PSI
if Im not mistaken, and if that house is not clampped well it will
go...Besides, that's what happened to me ;-) Easy fix, you don't need
to replace the accumulator or the lines unless they are rotten or
something. Let us know how you corrected the problem.

Subject: [DML] Fuel leak, please help...


Just finished doing all sorts of electrical and cooling work to my car,
and I was excited to get it back on the road.

So my girlfriend and I hop in the car and I start it for the first test
drive. Just before I close the door I smell fuel and upon looking under
the car find that I have a small stream of fuel leaking from the middle
of the car. So I immediately turned the ignition off and grabbed the
fire extinguisher just in case.

I jacked the car up, but could not find where the leak is coming from.
Is there a part of the fuel line in the middle of the car that is prone
to leaking? Anyone else had an experience like this?
