Default FUEL LEAKING ONTO MY FLOORBOARD!

I didn't see any posts on this. Over the weekend, I did some work on my Rex, pulled off the SC, fixed some hoses, and some other things, including a new fuel filter. When I got everything back together, I I started it up, and fuel began dumping onto my feet! Now, I had suspected a leak before, since it always smells like gas at WOT, but there's no avoiding this now! I pulled the dash Yesterday. I'll be pulling the cabin air box, so I can actually get to the line today. Has anyone dealt with this before? I haven't seen very much on information on this, other than a brief mention that you need to pull the dash to get to that connection. I know I won't be able to get new fuel lines, and will need to either repair the line or build something custom for it. If anyone has any incites on repairing fuel lines, let me know. My biggest concern is that I only want to do this once! lol

Double check your connections at the fuel filter, especially if it is still mounted on the firewall.

You don't repair fuel lines. You replace them.

Thanks guys! I figured it out. I had mounted an oil pressure sender on the firewall, and with my luck I drove a screw right into the fuel line. Me:"this looks like a good place to mount this. Car: Explodes! lol

Anyways, I pulled the dash, the heater core, etc., and towed it to a shop to fix. We'll see what he does. It would be nice if Honda still made those lines available.
