Fuel Lines?

Is this in the right section? If not, sorry.

Anyway, I am working on a 1989 Camaro RS and we went to start it and noticed gas spewing out of the driver side gas lines. Is there an easy way to fix it, or am I better off replacing it, or can I replace sections of it?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Fuel Lines?

is it coming out of the rubber lines that go to the motor or is it coming out the hard lines on the body?

either way you gotta replace it. its naturally easier to replace the rubber lines. you can upgrade to stainless line and AN fittings too if you'd like

Well, to answer your question, it's coming out of the hard lines nearer to the engine itself. So, I will probably just replace it, just to be safe. Thanks!

Re: Fuel Lines?

I had this same problem, a few weeks ago; and the easiest solution is to go to the junk yard and you might get lucky. There was a recall on the fuel lines in the early 90's, but again you can try tighten them for a temp. fix. I did that until I could find a replacment.
