You are a man of remarkable cahoonahs, driving your van with a penny patching a rusty fuel rail; even after all of the posts about "my van spilled gas and now is toast..." Call me a weenie, but even if I was a hundred miles from a phone, I'd risk hitching a ride to call AAA before I tried that. Any hole in the fuel lines larger than a dime is too large for me. G.

No help in sight. I removed the fuel rail made (of plastic) The end that broke must have been made of steel and rusted off. I noticed that the hole had the same diameter as a penny so.... I jammed one in (found under floor mat) And used some 5 min epoxy to hold it fast. It got me home!!!! To be reaired permanently today. |
