Hello, just yesterday i saw some fuel leaking by the driver rear wheel and i jacked the car up to look at it closely and it seems one of the fuel pipe is leaking!

It's the pipe that runs into another pipe that is screwed into the frame (i'm pretty sure it's the feed pipe). There's 2 other pipes that follow alongside it as well, but they just don't have that special connection.

It seems fuel is leaking from the beginning of the piping insulation. It's freakin so rusty i can't get the dang thing off!

Is changing this pipe a challenge? It seems i will have to replace the pipe coming from the fuel tank that connects to the feed pipe as well since i can't separate the two anymore. Rust has joined them in holy matrimony...

Any advice? I would prefer to do it myself since labor cost is so high let alone my car is so old.

Is it worth the time or trouble? Is this the final problem to give reason to dump this car and get a new one? I'm going on 230k miles on it... i hate problems!

 

I just recently did one at the dealership recently. Not a DIY job. Car should be up on a lift since you have to drop the gas tank, and one of the lines runs all the way to the engine compartment.

 

Yeah, i know the details of this job, but wanted to know if anyone has ever attempted this and succeeded?

I'm just staring at my car in the garage and thinking "what am i gonna do with it..."

Anybody wanna buy it as it stands?
