Post subject:  fuel line from fuel pump

Well it happened again! LOL Every time I have my brother in-law help me with working on a car something else always breaks!!
I had him help me with the timing on the Duster and today when I started it up I could smell gas and when I started backing out of the drive way there was a pool of gas on the ground!!
And after looking at it to see where it was coming from I found he had broken the fuel line going into the fuel pump from the tank.
So here is my qustion how long is that part of the line?
At first I thought it was the one coming from the pump going to the carb, but it's not.

About 8" on my 74 Dart. Use 30R9 fuel line so that won't happen again! I just switched all my lines due to the ethanol melting them........

Well the other day (Monday) I replaced that part of the gas line and started the car up and all looked ok, well today I was going to drive it and I started it up and was letting it wram up some and started smelling gas again so I get out and look under the car and sure enough it was leaking AGAIN!
I can't get under it and look right now as it's too hot out right now!
Could the fuel pump be leaking?

Yes, the fuel pump can leak. Mine sprung a leak about 9 months ago so I have a new fuel pump.

Well it turned out to be the fuel pump that was leaking. I went and got one from NAPA and it's all good now!!!
