Ok, so I get this smell of gas all throughout my house, so right away I knew it was my car. I go out to check what it was in my garage, and I have this huge puddle of gas on the ground under my car. I really have no idea what needs to be replaced, but I took 2 pics of the general area of where the gas is leaking. If someone could let me know what the part is I need to buy, and where I could get it from I would really appreciate it.
It looks to me like the rust got the best of my car while it was being stored during the winter.







Any help is appreciated, thanks!

i have come across many of these leaks, it is obiviously a fuel line leak, there are one of two lines, either way that has to be fixed. depending on which line it is will determine what parts you will need. it could also be you gas filler lines.. broken fuel lines that run to the motor is the more likley cause. best way to fix it is too identify the busted fuel line, cut the rusty line off then replace it with a rubbre fuel line and some clamps. you will have to take off that plasitic cover to see the lines those lines run up in your car and i have had to cut as far as up there to repair a line, buying a new one is an option but it would be misery to install so i don't recommend that.

Any suggestions I can do as a quick fix, so I can at least drive it to a shop to get repaired?
Thanks.

listen man, that looks like a 4th gen civic line, there are two lines you have to get. there is the line that goes from the fuel pump to that line that is leaking, then that line that is leaking. that line goes from the 1st line (from the fuel pump) right to the fuel filter, it's a pain in the *** to change goes up under your rear seat and through the cabin of the car. then to the fuel filter. good luck man

Thanks for the response Duge

drop the tank, pull the lines... maybe you'll have to replace the fuel sender unit if the hard lines are rotted.

those pics are no good, I don't have a reference point as to what the hell I'm looking at. you know?

fuel lines are easy to work on, just don't use power tools around leaking gas, and keep spark, flame, and heat sources at a good distance. I also keep a fire extinguiser around when I work around the tank.

silicon the hell out of it for the 20 min drive? cant really help ya unless u work on it at home i wouldnt drive it period

why would you have to replace the sending unit when it's a flex line from the sending unit to the hard fuel line? it's a 17mm bolt then that line goes into the line in the picture that seems to be leaking gas. did my tank on my old crx cuz it was leaking , but didn't have to replace those lines..

good luck..

i have seen this 1001 times its the line that enters the car under the back seat on the driver side.
just cut the old line out and use some rubber gas line hose and double clamp it you will have no more leak.
