where on the fuel line is it leaking at?? is it closer to the engine compartment, under vehicle , or closer to the tank?? Advance auto parts, Napa, O'Reilys, and autozone have the HELP repair kits, but i would suggest replacing either with oe from the dealer, or find a suitable donor from the parts yard! More info IE location, would net better advice,not being a dick, just sayn!!! GO BEARS!!!!!

It is closer to the engine. It is directly below my legs on the driver side. How much is a new fuel line? Are they easy to replace?

im takn a guess here, the side that looks to be leaking , is it from the nylon section that connects to the fuel rail? if so, the parts store sells the quick fix kit, based on my exp i would normally just go to the parts yard and find a good candidate, but defin, get some opinions and go with what ya think is best, just my 2 cents!! Good luck

I am having the line replaced. Went to the dealership today to get the fuel line clip, and tried to install it myself, and the line bursted and shot fuel everywhere. I was so pissed. The dealership guys were very cool about it, and aren't overcharging me, but I had to leave it there as they didn't have the part, but will by Tuesday. I'll get it back then. What a pisser!
