    Loose fuel line?

    I was driving down Rt1N and I went over one of the infamous Rte1 High Speed Bumps. Heard a slight 'Ting!' and now Im hearing a knock underneath the car on the driver's side in front of the rear wheel... also, when I come to a stop and idle, the car fills with gas fumes (enough to make my eyes water)
    I got underneath the car a little and felt that one of the hard lines under the car seems loose (which is probably causing the knocking when I go over bumps).

    anyone know what this line could be?
    I assume its a return line, because the car runs fine, it just gets unbearable when I stop and idle (when the most fuel is returning to the tank).

    The Service Manual doesnt have much info on the fuel lines under the car.

    the only thing you could do is get underneither the car and look for youself. trace it back from the fuel tank....is your rear seat wet? maybe check the lines right undernieth your rear seat.

      got underneath
      noticed two of the hard lines came out of their clips.
      So, I shoved them back into their clips
      lets see if that fixes it...
