It seems where the stainless steel fuel line is leaking in my 95 Vet is blocked by the fuel tank. I have been informed that the enitre back end of the hatch back, bumper and fenders have to be removed plus some serious looking structure attached to each back wheel and the fuel tank has to be removed.
The fuel line, which I just found out, is ONE continous length that is visible until it feeds up and snakes itself up over the fuel tank and back out the back end.
Has anyone had any experience with this delima. Does the whole back end, fuel tank and those serious looking angle structures that go to each wheel have to be taken off.

The back bumper needs to come off but not the hatch or the back fenders.Drop rear exhaust down as well.

Once you get the bumper off,the gas tank frame in the back can be loosened and dropped down a few inches to remove the tank or access the back lines if they can be repaired there or not.

If you need to remove the lines,you will pull the gas tank out,then have to lower the rear end carrier down to be able to get the lines out.The lines run OVER the carrier side above the wheelwell frame.
Is a big job but really not that bad.
Just time to remove the bumper cover and drop down the carrier to get the lines off.

It's greatly appreciated.

I've had an armchair thinker pass this possible repair on. Thought I'd see if it would be a safe thing to do. I know it's not an authentic repair, but here it goes.
Splice a new plastic fuel line in. Cut it at either end of the fuel tank, feed the plastice fuel line up above and out the back end of the fuel tank , seal it and clamp it. :rolleyes:

Might be a good way to fix an armchair though :D
