Here is where the pin hole is,and my temp fix,not leaking at all right now,but here's the question....Does anyone make a repair/splicing kit for these lines as you can see they go right thru the fender well and to the tank i'm guessing...

I have seen one of those repaired before but I don't know what was used, it may have been as simple as a nipple and two hose clamps but I don't remember. See what the parts stores have.

They do make repair kits for the plastic fuel lines. We have fixed many at our shop.

Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO
