fuel leak

Please can anyone give me some info:hail: I have aquired a substantial fuel leak from the four pipes that come from the fuel tank, so bad in fact, that it is spraying fuel over the inner wheelwell and over the drivers side suspension and wheel. This only happens with the engine running because of the pressure. When the engine is shut of it still loses around a litre of fuel onto the driveway I really want to do this with out removing the rear suspension but, if it has to come out, it has to come out right?

Welcome to the board.

I had a line rot off, the main line that is up next to the top of the tank. It would spray out a couple litres of gas in a few minutes.
I used a rubber hose to fix this and some clamps. (this is before I replaced my fuel tank and lines)

Can you see exactly where it is spraying from on the line. Can you see the lines crack or hole in it. Or is it up top on the tank, If so your in for some wild head aches.
