My car is leaking fuel from not the injectors but the a nozzle by the coil, it looks like a tire spout, I have no idea what can be causing gas to shoot out of it, I don't want to drive it because I dont want to die. Anyone have any idea how to fix it or tell me what is wrong with it?
thanks guys

 

Could you be a little more specific? Year, type engine, etc.? Some cars are set up a little different than others - some have the cold start injector, some don't... only thing I know of close to where you're talking about is the fuel pressure regulator. But then again, I don't even know what engine we're talking about here...

Sounds like the Schraeder valve, actually... that looks like a large tire valve. If nothing was screwed with, the "core" (center) somehow is shot. A mechanic can replace that easily, and shouldn't charge too much.

yah it sounds like the schraeder valve to me,
and since it is on the fuel rail, if it was messed up it would make sense for gas to be coming out of it
