in that case i would just bring it to a shop to fix a fuel line shouldint cost that much/
how do you work on it in your house a big front door or do you mean you work on it in your garage

if its a garage with concrete floor its not that big of a deal just no open flames next to the puddle and if you do get drips or a puddle just clean it right up but if yo dont feel comftorable doing it bring it to your local shop

good luck wish there was a better way to help you out but you jsut gota find teh leak and replaec teh line

I had the same problem the steel line coming out of the car underneath rusted through, it attaches to a rubber line going back to the tank, my leak was on the return side so there isnt pressure involved, I didnt want to mess around with the gas and dying so the shop cut the metal line further back where it was good and clamped a longer rubber line in there worked fine didnt even have to drop the tank to do it

I had that same problem on my old STD..Rotted the lines out in the back..Now I replaced the whole line and it was a major pain in the ***..But Im sure you can cut and add a piece and clamp it on or something like that..But most likely the shop will just replace the whole line..Now's a good time to put stainless lines if you plan on keeping the car for a long time..

about what would the cost be for stailess steal lines. i can estimate like 200 plus labor for one line. id rather just keep it simple.
