Well, if anybody remember I'm working on a 79 Limited that has been sitting since 1988. Well, we replaced the fluids and the plugs and cleaned the air filter and changed the oil filter, changed the fuel filter and the rubber lines.... then we tried to crank it over using start fluid and some gasoline down the carbs to prime it... it starts! sounded like a really angry lawnmower aaaand,... died. one of my metal fuel lines is peeing on my floor So, what do I need to replace it? Is it something my local Napa would have? If so, how much do they run? mazdatrix and the likes dont say anything about it.

Thanks

cheep way would be to cut the bad section out and jump it with some rubber hose. summit and Jegs sale hard line.

i was working on a 79 and i had the same problem. i still haven't figured out why yet. i've been too busy with school to work on it. i'll keep a watch on this thread.

If it's leaking at the point where it bolts onto the carb, there are aluminum washers under there that can be replaced. Just take the ones you have down to Napa and they'll help you out.

Nope, it's leaking from the metal line under the car about 12" from where it T's off from the fuel filter.
