    Fuel Line to Fuel Rail

    ok guys check this out lately when i take off my gas cap and been riding on E i dont get the psssh!!! from pressure relieving so i figured i have a gas leak some where am I right??

    Ok popped my hood today and looked at my fuel line where it connects to the fuel rail and it has gas sitting around it i dont think that this is normal so I take it aloose and this is what i had: bolt/washer/fuel line/washer/rail

    is this correct, im not sure if i suppose to have two washers or not, or if i suppose to have one do it go between the fuel line and bolt or the rail and line

    Fuel Leaks

    You have the correct number of washers in the correct arrangement.

    Before you do any testing, you need to have a fire extinguisher rated for volatile organic solvents. Personally, I would go with a Class B/C carbon dioxide extinguisher. If you pick up the ubiquitous Class A/B/C type, keep in mind that it uses a fire supressing powder that will leave a mess.

    You need someone to turn the key to the ON (II) position while you stand in front of the engine. Look for leaks, at ~38 psi you should see gasoline spray out. Then if nothing comes out, have that person start the car. Then look for leaks while it is running. If any gasoline sprays out, stop the car and have the extinguisher ready. If no flames appear, allow enough time for the gasoline to evaporate. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GASOLINE UP. Anything you use to soak it up becomes an even greater fire hazard than the spilt gasoline itself.
