#23309, "HELP HELP HELP!!!...I have a major gas leak!!!"




          

Ok, i found out a few weeks ago that my gas line right underneath my fuel filter was cut. I repaired the hose with a rubber hose and metal clamps. I also sealed the hoses with a strong epoxy. Well i just went to start my car and all i smell is gas. I checked the line and its leaking everywhere. What can i do to repair this? I need something fast. TIA

Rubber hose may not be enough. For a fuel injection car such as ours, you need high pressure fuel injection hose. I don't know exactly where you have your leak, but I recommend jacking it up, and just replacing the fuel injection hose where needed, and redo it the right way. Additionally, you may as well replace your old fuel filter and retighten everything to its correct torque ratings. For example, that banjo bolt on the side of the fuel filter needs to be on especially tight (it seemed that way to me), so there wouldn't be any leaking.

After you have it redone correctly, just turn the key to the "on" position to prime the fuel pump and look for any fuel leaks. Inspect for leaks as necessary.

Where can i get the fuel injection lines and how much do they cost?? Oh, and the leak is right under the fuel filter, I have about an inch of pipe, then the rubber hose, then the pipe again.

You can get high pressure fuel hose just about any autoparts store, napa, pepboys, autozone, etc... probably about a dollar a foot depending where you go.
