I love to get high on raw gas fumes in my cabin. Anyone else?

Well I have fixed this hose once and have tightened it about a dozen times yet it still leaks. I went to see John and Alex in Chicago around April I think and we fixed all the fuel lines / vac hoses. Once again the same hose is leaking again. I pop the hood this morning to see an almost constant dripping pool of fresh gasoline Since my other car is at dealer getting warranty work done I have been driving the maxi. I plan to sell her soon so any suggestions on fixing this hose so a potential buyer doesn’t think it will blow up. The hose that is leaking is the small 2 inch long tube under the intake platum that one that is IMPOSSIBLE to reach

a gas leak in your engine is very dangerous.

did you use fuel injection hose when you fixed it or just fuel line?

Your fuel rail hose is pretty easy to fix on the VG actually. And 5/16 size fuel hose should be sufficient.

It was FI hose, and I thought I positioned the clamps so you could tighten it w/o taking off the plenum.
