Default Fuel Leak ATI SC

I had a fuel leak from the aux fuel pump. The short line from the front of the pump to the fule lines. Anybody else had this problem.
I bought some new fuel line and clamps at an auto parts across from my office. I fixed it in the parking lot of my work place in about 15 minutes. The line that sprung a leak seemed to to very soft compared to the line I replaced it with. I started the car and got an immediate gas smell, shut it down and opened the hood, fuel was still squirting from the faulty line, lucky the motor was no hot. Check your fuel lines!

Thanks. I'll go check mine ASAP. Where did you get the shiney silver lids for the fluids? They look really good!

So that was your car being pro-charged, nice. We had our zees done just about the same time. My ATI bypass fuel line did not suffer a leak, however, I do agree that the fuel lines are garbage. I should change them, before they start leaking.

The problem I had was with my FMU and it had to be replaced.
