Got in my car today,
Turned it on and about 5 seconds later i started to smell fuel,
I didnt worry my sister was moeing the lawn and she had to probable refuel the lawn mower.

Well i move my car 1/2 a block and get out and see a nice line of the path I just took and the fuel smell is increased sense i got out of the car.

I take a look and right next to the wheel, Under the drivers side Im dripping,
And it smells like fuel horridly.

Are there fuel lines in that location?
What is my best way of finding out? jack it up and get my face under there? [ car is lowered can get a good view]

Thanks
 
Your best bet is to pop the hood and look for anything suspicious. Jacking the car up is overdoing it considering the fuel lines run across the top of the motor. On the driverside, the culprit is probably the return line from the fuel pressure regulator on the end of the fuel rail. Make sure the clamps are tight and that the hose is long enough. I know on my 2g recently the previous owner hadn't used fuel line and the hose busted. Good luck and let us know if that fixes your problem.
 
I found out what it was,
Thanks for your post.

Pretty much same thing,
I installed a AFPR w/ SS Lines 3 months ago appx.

The return line is loose or something.
I hope alls I have to do is Tighten it.

I think what happened is my AFPR AN fittings are hitting on my intake and when my motor rocks it rocks the AFPR up and down with it, causing my return line to get pulled up and down and it just loosed it or something,

Thanks
Im thinking mayb i need to goto nylok, its more flexiable.
hmm.
