I thought i smelled a whif of gas last
time I had my van out.  So, i ran it for a
minute in the garage, shut it off, and
started nosing around.


Sure enough, I removed the air boxs and
right where the main feed line (i think)
that comes into the injector rail far
forward next to the metal cap, it was all
wet right where the hose joins the rail.


Is it ok to use a hose clamp as a temp
repair until i get new lines and clamps?
Do these just start leaking with age?
Thanks!
steve
