Re: fuel pump line leaks

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Mike - I'm not totally sure I understand where your leak is, but I 
wanted to relate an experience that I had years ago. My car suddenly 
developed a leak while driving through Deerlodge, Montana (of all 
places!) on a Sunday (read - nothing open). I got the car back to 
Seattle without a fire. It turned out that the leak was in the joint 
between the fuel accumulator and the hard line that runs along the 
frame back to the filter. The flared end of the hard line had 
developed a crack, right in the flare itself. Replacement of the 
hard line requires body removal (not on MY watch!), so I had a new 
high-pressure flexible line made to bypass it. As Martin said, it 
could be just a speck of debris, but look very carefully at all 
details of the lines involved. Cracks can happen when you stretch or 
crush metal. Good luck.
