See the archives. There are a least a million posts about this. Just remove it and run a new piece of fuel line from the T junction to the plastic line on the front side of the firewall passing through the hole in the firewall left from the removal of the plastic fitting. Use either a grommet or fuel line cover protector to protect the new fuel line from being cut by the metal edge of the hole. So, here's the story one more time for the archives. Getting to be just as prevalent as the tire story.
>>>>>>In the included link, what is the plastic white piece that goes across the body and connects the fuel line on either side of the engine bay? Does anyone have a part number or appropiate name? pic for reference: _http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y231/Freakness/Update%2013/Right-rearcornerv iewofenginebayshow.jpg_ (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y231/Freakness/Update%2013/Right-rearcornerviewofenginebayshow.jpg) <<<<<<<<<<
