Big fuel leak.

[zakkkaliscious]

This morning I started my car to warm it up, i went back in side and when I came back the garage smelled like gasoline. I backed my car up and turned it off. There was a 2 foot wet spot on the floor. I figured out it's leaking from one of the hardlines underneath the fuel filter where it meets up to one of the rubber lines. There is a clamp on the line. There was also a small spot underneath the car where I parked and if I primed the pump it still leaked out.

I have a walbro 255 and a rb25. Is it possible that if the pump was primed a bunch of times without starting the car there was too much pressure in the system?

What should I do!?!!

i would recommend replacing all your lines, first and foremost. probably to hardlines rather than rubber hoses to avoid using clamps... union blocks are more effective and the auto parts store will have them for under $10 a piece. pipe benders for the hardlines are probably in the same price range. attach that sh!t to your existing setup and you should be fine. but don't take it from me... i'm just a girl that likes cars n' sh!t!!!! Good luck with the issue i hope ya get it worked out and i hope ya don't have to drop the fuel tank

Yep the line is bad. Now I just gotta find time to replace it. Thanks girls and guys.

[Black4DrEK]

[zakkkaliscious]

The line that runs under the filter to my rail.

damn hope ya get it fixed and all works out well for ya... i had a fuel issue on my s10 last night... got no power to the fuel pump... i was all freaked out thinking it was a computer/security issue... turned out to be the fuel pump ground wire wasn't mounted on the frame... so no ground = no power for fuel pump = no start of my 4.3.... >_< i felt like an idiot for 10 minutes i swear...
