      Yah, that's where the fuel lines run- if you're really low, you may have crunched one.
      Or it just popped (poped!) a leak, what with being 20- odd years old.

      But it's a hands- on, no- smoking sort of diagnosis.

          Cigarettes don't burn hot enough to ignite gasoline, FYI.

          Have a few fire extinguishers handy and have a friend prime the fuel pump while you look for leaks. Shouldn't need the extinguishers... just in case, you know?

                fuel lines. I had a leak back there it ended up being one of the connections that plugs into the fuel filter (it is located exactly where you are describing).

                  Already fixed. Also, which e30 has the fuel filter in the engine bay?

                    I think he meant it was a line coming from the fuel filter, not from a filter in the bay.

                      325e's and 318is(M42) cars, if memory serves me correctly. Not really in the bay, I would consider it more like underneath. They lurk underneath the brake booster.

                          Ah, that makes sense. I have only worked on late model 6 cylinder fuel systems, but knew there were some differences between models.
