Turn car on pump is on and under car everything looks fine. Start the car Gas is pouring off the top of the tank passenger side on to the exhaust pipe. I mean a flood. Open fuel pump access panel all connections look fine start it no leaks from pump connections, look under car, it is leaking like a hell again. definitely gas. a little is running off just in front of rear sway bar. car sits for two days I drop the tank it looks fine so do all hoses and connections and there is nothing on that side to leak. I can't get car to start with tank dropped tank it is supported by a jack and something is keeping from dropping all the way out. And car will not start with tank on this angle. All this started when a truck blew a tire and it went under car and ripped out fuel line, I had to buy a quick connector patch kit, it worked fine for one or two tanks of gas. Now this 1997 grand prix N/A ram air, 325,000 mile ran great till this

Thanks guys, did I stump the experts here? LOL I hope not
 


Follow the wet spot. Is your repair solid? Is the fuel pump lock ring on properly? Is there a crack in the tank?
 
Well it's been sitting for two days so no wet spot, never thought of the return line, but why would it suddenly blow?
 




I always have gone to the junkyard and found a car with lines in good shape. Then you have the exact length you need and the bends are already there. And most junkyards only charge a few bucks for them.
 
Yah thats what I would normally do but do to age and injuries I was unable to crawl under the cars and all the ones that already had the tanks out someone had cut the lines and I can't find anyone even at the yards willing to make a few bucks and get them for me
 
Logan...at 246K, I suddenly cracked a flex plate. It's the original L67 flex, on the replacement L26 (NA) and ... somehow it cracked. I doubt it was the NA power.
 


LOL I love it Bill, hey you or scotty wouldn't happen to have a spare set of lines or be heading to the JY soon and could pull me a set would ya? I'll pay ya I tried morad and he was out of them had not GP's on the lot
