Fuel line leak - 1998 Honda Civic EX
Hi All:
I have small fuel line leak in my 1998 Honda Civic EX. You can smell the gas only when the car has been driven. (Sometimes it is not driven for a week at a time). Looking from the drivers side of the car the the leak is located about the rear of the passenger door, and about 1.5 feet to 2 feet under the car. Is this something that can be fixed by a do it yourself person with little or no experience, or does it require a mechanic. |

Well it depends. Do you got tools, a jack, and some jackstands? If so you probably do it ur self. It's probaly leakin from a old broke rubber hose, or possibly jus a broke plastic line connector piece. But to find your problem ur gonna have to jack your car up fairly high , so you can lower your tank to find the problem. But there's a decent amount of work to get to the tank lowering part. Your gonna have to remove splash guards and they can be a pain at times. Removing the rear tires makes the job easier.
