Fuel Leak

[johnicd]

Well I have been smelling fuel for a couple weeks while driving and while parked. I finally traced the leak to one of the two lines that runs from the tank, right by the transmission, and then up to the engine bay. I found a small pinhole leak right next to the transmission. Looks like the line has been rubbing on part of the frame or a brace for something and started leaking. For such a small hole, it leaks really good. I need some help with getting this fixed. If anyone has any experience with replacing these lines, please chime in. If I could get part numbers and a rough estimate for how much a shop would charge to install the line that would be awesome. Also how hard would it be to do the job? If I can save some money and do it myself, Im perfectly fine with that.

Thanks for the help!

haven't replaced the hard lines but i had a vapor leak on mine. It was the seal on the top of the gas tank where the sending unit sits. ay be a good place to check if you haven't found an actual leak.
