Ok...I've been looking around everywhere and been under my car trying to determine whats leaking fuel...I really think it's the part right at the bottom of the bend where the metal screw clamp thing is wrapped around the tube. It's leaking like a mofo whenever I get done driving it then it just stops...

I have no clue wtf is the problem I shined a light up in there and got under the car and couldn't really see any further up so I'm really hoping it's this certain part of the car.

My question is, are there any seals at this part of the car, where the tube's are clamped together at the bottom.

anyone else ever had a fuel leak? how much would a shop probably charge to fix this if it's just the clamp place?

take out your back seat bench and open the access cover for the fuel pump. start the car and push the gas a little while someone looks. it could be coming out of the cap for the fuel pump, in which case take off the cap and check the seal.
 
put it on the lift earlier today...it's a slit in the rubber hose that goes over the filler tube. we put silicon and pushed it ona little more then clamped it down...it isn't leaking as bad but it is still dripping small puddles of fuel...I need to replace this hose...but if you look under your back right passenger side you will notice that only one clamp can be seen

the other one is behind the frame and is really non-accessible in my opinion. I also can't find out what the hose diameter is so i can go buy a replacement

I need help i'm dripping fuel everywhere it's kinda dangerous

peace
