Gas leak from under rear driver side door. 96, 4x4, 4.6L, auto trans
Ok so I put 30 dollars in fuel on Friday which gave me 3/4 of a tank I drove it home and parked it. It sat in the driveway for 4 days. I went to start it today and noticed right away a strong gas smell. I decided to just drive it to my mechanic. Unfortunately it wouldn' start. It kept trying it over and over but just wouldn't start. I tried it off and on for a few hours until the battery was about to die. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? I will attach a few pics.

Welcome to the forum. Since it won't start the leak is in the 3/8 inch fuel supply line. A flashlight and some safety glasses and you'll see where and how long of a piece you need to repair it. Can we talk you into and through fixing it yourself?

It wouldn't hurt to put a charger on your battery if you have one. Basic tubing tools are cheaper than a trip to the mechanic and empowers you to do it yourself for cheap. When one line on a 22 year old truck starts leaking, some more usually follows.

Yeah I looked up a video on fixing it. I' pretty sure I can do that. Not rocket science. Im just gonna have to buy a few tools. I will update soon. Quick question, is it not starting because it' sucking air through the crack in the line?
