gas leak
Hi, i have a litle gas leak under the car, where the tube from under the car goes up in the engine bay. It looks like same type of connections that is on the fuel rail, is it? What size of O ring should i use?

IDK what size o-ring it is, but I had this problem with a Dodge Caravan. The pipe got rusty and the rust invaded the connector and got under the o-ring causing a leak. This was from the filter's plastic line to the steel pipe. I had to cut off the plastic connector to get it apart. Then I polished the pipe and installed a new filter. I coated the connector with silicone grease hoping it would protect it.
I'm assuming your problem is the connector between the flexible braided hose to the supply pipe. Cutting it apart will require replacing the hose but may be your only option. You may be able to soak it with a rust remover like WD40 and work at it a while, but I doubt very much if it will come apart.
