[s-cars] Fuel leak

[Chris Ludlow]

Mine was doing the same.  It was leaking at the compression fitting at the 
supply line from the fuel pump.  Check the rubber hose that attaches to a 
metal compression fitting which continues as metal fuel line.  Fixed mine by 
cutting out the bad rubber line and reattaching with another fitting.  
Replacing the line from the fuel pump would have been MUCH more painful.
