Fuel Line Replacement Hey Guys,
So I hadn't driven my car for a while but smelled a lot of gas the last time I started it and saw a puddle of gas near the drivers rear tire when I got out of the car. I finally jacked it up to take a look and sure enough there is a crack/split/hole in the plastic supply line about 6-8 inches before the fuel filter. (It's the part that is the lowest so not sure if something hit it are scraped it) I assume there is no "repairing" it, so looking at replacing it. Google searches are not coming up with any good results on replacement lines to buy, you guys have any suggestions? I could always ask a dealership, but it might get pricey . . .

You could get a replacement from a junkyard. You could also build your own using braided hose and AN fittings. Dorman sells repair lines as well, but they are a pain to work with. They do the job though.
