Small fuel leak
Noticed a small fuel leak under my truck, crawled underneath I have a straight fuel line that goes into a braided type line and it appears the leak is coming from where the two lines meet. Anyone Else have this problem? Easy fix?

2nd gens are notorious for fuel line failures on the rubber sections between the tank and metal lines by the bellhousing. remember 1 is a suction/delivery line, if you get air, you get a bad running truck. I dont recall any SS lines on my 95 but ?? Most folks invest in some marine grade fuel line for the repairs. It is rated as top notch quality.

The way I deal with leaks in the location you desribe is to run diesel rated hose from the engine all the way back to the tank.
In fact when replacing the rubber fuel lines I always abandon the steel lines for hose all the way. Too many times the steel/braided lines have started leaking later, hose all the way avoids this.
