Well, I would like to thank everyone for their responses to this thread. As
most things go for me it was a bit more dificult to fix than I expected but
I got it. Ended up the fuel line was split at the backside of that plastic
firewall fitting. So even though the lines were new within the last two
years and I do inspect them on a regular basis it was in a place I could
never have seen of felt. So I replaced the line from that fitting to the
fuel pump. While I was at it I used Max's suggestion for getting rid of the
plastic fitting and replaced it with a small brass coupler with 5/16 barbed
fittings on each end. So Grover is home and it looks like I have more lines
to replace this weekend.

All is well that ends well. I'm still very grateful the problem happened
just 16 miles from home as opposed to during our trip to NY. Thanks again
for all the responses - oh and it can't be said too often - replace and
inspect those fuel lines.
