NEED HELP BADLY!!! FUEL LEAK
So the other night I took someone a ride in my car, I hit third gear and the car just died, my first thought was timing belt. Then I realized that I have 0 fuel pressure, car wont start just turns over, I did get it started off of eather, inside the car smells like raw gas. If I cycle the fuel pump there will be a small puddle of gas under the gas tank. There is also gas all over the bottom of the car, any ideas where I should start looking, because I'm having problems finding the leak. BTW I need this car running today!!! Thanks for the help in advance.

Re: NEED HELP BADLY!!! FUEL LEAK
fuel lines are good for rotting out in civics.... be prepared to drop some serious cash on new fuel lines and no you prob wont get it running today lol....
get under the car and have a friend cycle the key... see where the leak is... repair as necessary
on a side note, i had a broken fuel line myself.... i just used rubber fuel line and hose clamped it.... regular hose clamps can handle 40 psi of fuel pressure no problem so if you have some good section of line to clamp to repair it that way temporarily until your new fuel lines come in!

Haha hose clams and rubber fuel line was the plan until I got new fuel line, but now I'm not sure????
