hey everyone i notice a big puddle under the passenger side seat. -jp- I'm assuming your leak is under the passenger side of the car... The last time my car sprung a leak in that location it was a crack in the fuel filter (small white plastic cube shape, 1 hose in, 1 hose out). The filter is just above the right end of the engine mounting bar. Before that, it was a crack in the rubber "reducer" hose in that same area. Chris at Tangerine makes a steel replacement ("fuel line adapter piece") for that one: http://www.tangerineracing.com/stainlessfuellines.htm Hope this helps! |
