[s-cars] Gas Leak Identified (Fuel line corroded on rubber mount)

[chris chambers]

James,

If you are refering to the fuel lines under the car suspended by rubber
mounts, I had this exact same problem on my 1985 Audi 5000CS, I
remedied it by replacing the lines with new lines from NAPA....Just
swapped out the fittings on the ends and reflard the lines, worked like
a charm...Depending on your application you may need to join to lines
together.
