What's involved
What this repair actually is.
Steel fuel lines running under the car rust from years of New York road salt until they weep or spray fuel. We replace the damaged sections with proper fuel-rated line and fittings, secure the runs correctly, and pressure-test the system to confirm the leak is gone.
Symptoms
How you can tell.
- Gasoline smell around or under the car
- Visible wet spots or dripping under the vehicle
- Fuel gauge dropping faster than usual
- Engine starving for fuel at speed
- Rusty, flaking lines spotted during an oil change
If you delay
Leaking fuel under a hot exhaust is a genuine fire risk — a weeping line can split open at any time and should not be driven on.
