So I bought this 2g GS as a project and finally got it running but got a smell of gas so I went out to look where it's coming from just to see a waterfall of gasoline coming out from this fitting here. I tried tightening it but it refused to budge, I just want to know if I should keep trying to tighten it or if I'll make things worse if I mess that up somehow? Should just replace the line at this point?

If any of you know of any better lines that are less susceptible to leaks like this please let me know where I can buy them but for now I would just like to get the car running properly so i can smog it and have it officially in my name.

Any help appreciated

You'll have to disconnect the fuel line and see whether it's the rubber portion or the hard line coming up the firewall. Be careful, it may still be under pressure.
