Fuel Leak around gas tank, not holding fuel pressure, what pops to mind?
Hey guys, Im just taking my Crx out of storage from the winter, just had it running (started first try, had fuel stabilizer in the tank) but I had a smell of gas.
Looked under the car, and sure enough, it seems to be leaking on the drivers side. Couldnt tell from where from underneath though. Since I didnt have my jack I just turned the car off.
I did however then turn the key to prime the pump, a few times without starting it, and then went to check my fuel pressure gauge that is permanently mounted to my fuel rail, and noticed the gauge said 0, wasnt holding pressure. Primed the pump again and rushed to the gauge, and I watched it quickly diving down to zero.
Does this point to a certain hose or leak source to you guys?
The car has less than an 1/8th tank and the tank is only a few years old so I dont believe that tank itself is the source of the leak.
Hope someone can point me in the right directions before I get under there blind. Fuel leaks scare me

its probably the high pressure line coming off of the fuel pump, mounted to the frame.. those tend to rust pretty bad..
