I washed my car yesterday and then took it for a short drive. When I went outside a little later, I saw a small puddle of something under the right rear of my car in the driveway. I smelled it and it was gas!
I crawled under the car and found that the fuel line from the tank to the filter had been rubbing on my tail pipe, and had finaly worn through. The gas was running down the fuel line onto my tailpipe and dripping off onto the ground.
I must have forgotten to secure the line after my fuel pump install. I'm glad I noticed the problem right as it started, it could have been a disaster.
Does anyone know where I can get that line other than from Ford or a junkyard? None of the junkyards in my area seem to have 5.0's any more, and I know ford's going to screw me on the price.
