Default fuel line popped off

oops. I guess being ghetto with high pressure fuel lines is a bad thing. I was on my way to work driving up a hill under just enough manifold pressure to close off the FMU and the hose right after my inline pump popped off spraying fuel all over. I smelled the gas and pulled over and fixed it with a dime. I'm lucky the car didn't burst into flames.

So, i realized that i need to do 3 things.

1. Not be ghetto.
2. Carry tools with me.
3. Have a fire extinguisher in the car.

Ghetto is bad, you may save in the beginning.... but you will pay for it in the end. A buddy of mine installed new injectors in his gsr and the o-ring didnt seal correctly and fuel sprayed out to his manifold, long story short... it went up in flames. Be careful when working with fuel related things
