    So i was driving home from a friends house yesterday, and when i turned my car it on, it took like 5 seconds before it turned over (very unusual for my car) then i started smelling gas through the air vents. When i got home, i opened the hood to full scent of gas, turned on the car and saw my fuel injector line just spraying gas all over my engine. This line, where im pointing at, there are two tiny holes and the gas just sprays out of that. Before i bring it into the shop, is this an easy fix? Can i do it myself? Any suggestions?

    This fix looks pretty self explanatory. just need to replace the fuel line. ZZP carries the disconnect tool but i also found this at Autozone, Will this work?

    And i take this is the Fuel Line i need. What size should i buy?

    Thanks

    Size depends on what line is leaking. I've done both of mine with barb fittings.
