Gas wouldn't just randomly eat through lines. Can you find out exactly where the leak is coming from?

gas filler neck is probably rotted, just have someone crank it while u take peak underneath, just don't get leaked on, @.@ gasoline tastes horrible.

my car started doing the samr thing. I'm going to look at it later on and see if I can fix it. It looks like one of the lines rubber lines split and is sliding off the metal line? Yeah it was a simple fix. somehow the out going fuel line got cracked and started leaking. baught fuel line and replwced it no problem. Sorry didn't have a chance to get pics.

pull back the carpeting in the trunk and remove the fuel pump cover with the 10mm bolts and check fuel lines gaskets ect. if you still cant find the leak take off the fuel tank and inspect for holes from there.http://i130.photobucket.com/al...8.jpg

When I did it gas did come out from the line when it was removed. I use a soda bottle to catch it until it was done. I'm not sure if it did it because of pressure in the line or because it was gas in the tank. Just look under the rear passenger side. The gas tank is sitting there under the car look in front of the gas tank and you should see the lines going to it. maybe you can tell from there witch one has been leaking. You will have to remove it from there as well as in the trunk once you remove the cover leading to your fuel pump.
