Re: Fuel leak, please help...

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

You probobly won't see the problem from underneath. Take out the
carpet and spare tire in the luggage compartment. Remove the curved
cover toward the rear of the spot where the spare tire sits. You will
see the top of the fuel tank and the 2 hoses. While the motor is
running you should find the leak. Do this outside in a well ventilated
area and wipe up any spilled fuel quickly. You could have a bad hose.
The other possability IS visible from under the car. Look up inside
the frame in the center of the car and you will see the accumulater.
There is a small rubber hose coming out of the back of it. The
accumulater could be bad and the rubber return hose is leaking. DON'T
DRIVE THE CAR WITH A FUEL LEAK. It is VERY dangerous to do that.

grabbed the fire extinguisher just in case.

is prone to leaking? Anyone else had an experience like this?
