fuel line repair

Jun 15, 2015 0 Replies

('04 Cavalier) I have a leak in the (steel) fuel return line, just where it mates with the plastic line from the tank. I have released the latch on the 'quick' disconnect, and, with effort, I can rotate the pipe in the disconnect. But, so far, I haven't been able to pull it out at all. If anyone knows a trick, I'd very much like to hear it.



Bonus question #1: can those plastic lines be replaced individually, or are the integrated into the fuel pump assembly, where I'd have to replace the whole tank unit?



Bonus #2: Has anyone ever cut a hole in the floor, to remove the tank unit without dropping the tank?



Bonus #3: The leak is squirting out pretty energetically, like it's under pressure. This seems odd - should there be pressure in the return line?



Thanks
