Fuel Leak HELP PLEASE!

[talon187]

ok heres the story i was looing under my car in the front of it and noticed gas was leaking so i stoped driving it and i got an sbr fuel line kit. I installed everything made sure none of the fitings were leaking and im still having a leak in the same place its under the car with four small lines right next to one another im guess its the fuel feed line fuel return line and 2 break lines for the rear? if thats the case and its the fuel return line can someone tell me show me a pic of where under the hood it connects? and witch one it is on the gas tank? im also going to use a -6an line for the return line if this is my problem. Im also wondering if i can just use clams on the line or i need fittings or what because i know on the gas tank its held on with a clamp. thanks for all the help. I have one more question its alittle off topic but after i installed the fuel feed line i went to start the car and i have no headlights and my gas tank now says e when theres half a tank at least.... also when i go to turn the high beams on the blue light inside the car does not come onive checked every fuse in the car and under the hood and they are all good. thanks for all the help and input

The return line is most likely the leaking line since you installed a new feed line and are sure the fittings aren't leaking.

I just went thru the same thing. The return line is metal under the car and has rubber connecting it to the fpr and to the tank. When i fixed mine, it was leaking just before the rear subframe. I cut out the bad section of metal line, flared the end, and used 5/16 high pressure rubber fuel line from there to the tank. Just used two clamps on each end. No Leaks

The fuel is dripping on the ground right before the door so im sure its leaking before that and running down the line. Theres no other fuel lines correct? is it worth doing a -6an line for the fpr to the tank?

If you want it fixed fast and don't want to wait for a braided ss line, you can always run a 5/16 rubber line all the way from the fpr to the tank. Not sure how much line you's need, but its only $1 a foot. You can use zip ties to hold it in place. Its a cheap $20 fix that will last you a long time.

I just saw you have an adj fpr....are you sure the outlet isn't leaking? I highly doubt it is the metal line leaking....it is probably the rubber line from the outlet of the fpr to the stock metal line.

yeah i think im going to go do that. any idea why my headlights wont work? witch line from the tank is the fuel return the small one right? not the huge one or the one with valuve on it correct?

alright im totally stumped i changed the fuel return line and it still leaks in the same spot anyone know if there are anymore fuel lines and if so where the start and end?

 

[tom04841]

I would say your afpr is leaking and running down the line

 

[talon187]

fixed it thank god thanks for all the help

 

[tom04841]

Well, what was leaking?

 

[talon187]

it was the return line so i just ran a rubber hose for the fpr to the tank for now ill change it to -6an later let me tell you i was mad after changing the fuel feed line for nothing again thanks for the help
