rx7 88 turbo ii fuel leak
Hello rx7 club I have a rx7 1988.5 turbo ii
What happen was I was driving a I had put about 2 gallons in the tank just before I left drove not far and it was almost empty again I didn't think to much of it being old car and it doesn't read gas levels the best plus I have no emissions so my car smells of gas anyways so i went back to shell only use shell gas in my car and put 5 gaollons in I musta drove 3 miles and all the fuel was almost gone I was line wtf I turn the car off to prevent engine fire and got out it all dumped from the engine bay in the back closer to firewall can't see tho exactly I did some research and I think it might be the pulsating dampener the rx7 has 109k miles any ideas I took the upper intake manifold off replaced the gasket any ideas what it might be when i get back there and is there anything I should replace for sure while I'm back there and have stuff apart thanks for reading my post !!!

1. punctuation
2. the car would barely run, or not run at all if the high-pressure line from the tank ruptured or fell off
3. it's probably the return line. get under the car and start chasing lines down, we can't fix it from here.

Check the pulsation dampener, fuel pressure regulator, all associated fuel lines, fuel injectors, fuel rails, fuel injector grommets and O-rings.
Do not drive your car until you fix this issue or else your car will most likely catch fire.

^ I don't know what you mean by 'trolleys' but I do know that when your fuel injectors are professionally serviced... all O-rings, pintle caps, grommets, inlet screens, etc... are replaced.
Look into Witch Hunter Performance for fuel injector cleaning and flow testing service. I've always had great experiences with them. (You may want to ship them soon, though... They're moving their shop and will be closed from 5/19/12 - 5/28/12.)
