Live to see another day, thank you Lord

Before I start I want to thank the Lord for being alive. Here's the story, yesterday I was heading up to a buddies house which is around a 20 plus miles away from where I live. When I got there I smelled gas, I got out of the car and noticed that the drive side exhaust pipes was drenched with gas then I saw the fuel filter hose was sitting on the exhaust pipe and melted the hose and its was leaking like a faucet at this point I couldn't believe that nothing bad happened. I went to home depot and pick up a coupler and fixed it temporarily, I'm not driving the car now. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket hose that I can use like stainless steel hose or stock hose is my only option? Any advice is appreciate.

Thanks guys

Jeg's carries both Russell and Aeroquip stainless steel hoses and a selection of fittings/tools that should let you make up any kind of stainless hose set up you desire. Just go to www.jegs.com and search under those brands. It won't be cheap - but done correctly you shouldn't have to worry about buring the car to the ground again, at least because of the fuel line.

Thats a horrible feeling just waiting for something to ignite isnt it. I swapped fuel pumps and forgot the o-ring on top of the tank, went to the gas station and filled it up not knowing and after it was full about a gallon ran over onto the ground by my exhaust. Now the fun part is dropping a full tank of gas i just filled to put in the o-ring.

I'm glad that nothing ignited and anything dealing with gas is never fun. I called Ford to see if I can get the hose from them and the parts guys tells me that I have to come in to look at pictures because he could not find the hose and that some hose's are obsolete

That is what I would do...I would go to your Ford Dealership and get an OEM hose...

So the reason why it got gasoline everywhere is because the line was against the exhaust...
