Default Need Help Please!!!!

Anyone with a 1997 corvette manual...I need to know the PSI of the fuel line. I have been told that I need to replace the entire run of the metal fuel hose, but do not see why I can't bypass the leak and fix it with metal braided hose. Would there be a fuel pressure problem....? Any help would be appreciated. :banghead: They say the only way to fix the problem is to drop the tranmission and engine out and replace the whole line... :confused:

Maybe you dont want to hear that, but i wouldnt fool around with such a sensitive material like fuel lines bypass ideas. However, i guess there will be a easy way to fix the leak, and someone here will help.
Getting engine and tranny out to replace a fuel line ? I dont believe so.
