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.

 

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!

 

I agree *bump* jack it up and start looking! and yeah unless its sumtin small you aint fixing it today
sorry bro

 

couldn't find a leak today??? So I pulled the line of the bottom of the filter and had a friend kick the pump on and no gas came out of the line at all............Is it possible it's leakin that bad and I can't find it.

 

it must have fixed itself.... lol



idk check again?

 

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

 

if its leakin its def. before the fuel filter I'm 100% positive on that, but I would assume I would easily see the leak when the fuel isnt even making it to the filter.

 

well, I just figured out the fuel pump is pumping, now I just have to find the leak.......
