What did you do with your car/truck or shop today?
I had one on the rear fuel line at the fuel rail, the 2 o rings in the quick connect went bad, and it was occasionally spraying fuel onto the back of my UIM, which could have went really bad, see this video for what happened with a similar leak, I think a faulty FPR also attributed to this explosion.
I had to repair a fuel line on the Buick one winter..started the car to head out for the store, turned on the climate control and caught the gas fumes through the vents. There were two pinhole leaks an inch apart in the feed line, whizzing gas on the UIM. Thankfully there was no damage done, and I was lucky to find one parts store that had the Dorman repair kit in stock.
That'* why I leave the engine covers hanging in the garage, and keep a fire extinguisher in both cars.

I ended up having to replace the fuel line from the rear of the fuel rail to the hard line at the firewall with some fuel injection rated hose, and proper clamps.
I think I see me needing to do all my nylon fuel lines in the future, and also I think I'll get me an extinguisher for the car now!
While I was under the rear I noticed a small bit of soft hose, looks like EVAP hose, so I guess it is coming from the EVAP line, the hose looks pretty big, and not like the EVAP hose I have on hand, but it is also dry-rotting, so maybe it expanded, I am going to try to replace it with the soft EVAP hose I have on hand, I know its inside is the same diameter as the EVAP line, and it will fit, so I am pretty sure that is all that really matters.
My feed line on my truck by the tank has a hole in it. I haven't fixed it because I haven't figured out the best way to get to it. I can't decide if I wanna drop a half full tank or pull up the bed.
I do enjoy buffing out a car.
If you need tips or pointers on how to do it. I'd be glad to help you out that way. It'* been years since I've been to NY. I was out by the Poughkeepsie area a few years back.

You can borrow my 4' cheater bar. Good for harmonic balancer bolts. If you have someone you really don't like, you can also use it to tighten wheel nuts.
