    replacing steel fuel line

    Return line is rusty and all rubber lines are cracking so I'm considering doing it all. Anything else I should plan on? Thanks

    Should plan on smelling like gas. Get new high presure clamps. I did this a few weeks ago.

    Cheapest way to do it is to get some brake lines and bend it into shape... just because its labeled "brake line" doesn't mean it cant be used for gas. You could do a line for maybe 20 bucks.

        does anyone have any issues with leaking gas by the tank. I havent figured out where its coming from, but everytime i start the car it leaks gas by the tank.

          jpsfab: The filter is right under the car under passenger on drivers side. Might have a bad line or the fuel filter. Also there is a metal line that connects to parts of the tank. Look in dead middle, you could have a bad fitting?

          OP: I would replace the small lines to the fuel rail(rubber), and check your vacume lines for cracks while you are in the area
