Fuel Leak on Civic STD
i searched on this and didnt find anything, but i notice where the fuel lines drop out of the passenger compartment and under the car im getting a leak. is there a fitting between there? im thinking about just bringing it to a local shop because im afraid to mess with fuel n **** cause i work on my car in my house and that kinda scares me. if anyone has any suggestions please let me know asap

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
ok thanks what shop was it. where are you located maybe ill head over there n see what they say. how much was it so if i cant go to yours atleast i have a baseline price to go by
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.
