Rear Fuel Line

Whaz up everybody. I was on the way home from work and started smelling gas. Yeah... not good. I stopped off at a gas station took a peak under hood and all looked good; no leaks. When I got home I still smelled it. Damn! It turns out that the hose off of the fuel pump is leaking. Between work and school I don't have time to wrench. So off to the shop she goes. I'm thinking, "at least I know what's wrong" so the shop doesn't rip me off.

Should be a cheap job - an hour of labor tops (half hour if they're any good), and $20 in parts for new hose & clamps. I replaced those sections a few weeks ago while I was putting in a replacement pump & damper . . . mine were in ROUGH shape, I'm surprised they weren't leaking.

It was 135.00 and they toped off my fluids and put on a new radiator cap. It was done in a jiffy.

Ouch man. If you were closer. I would have done it for free, minus the cost of the parts. Well maybe I would of asked you to buy me lunch.
