This sucks, was really hoping for a remedy without replacing full fuel line. That's an option though, just wish I could do it myself. Don't have a jack, apart from oem spare tire jack, though could maybe borrow a neighbor's.
every leak I`ve has been right at those clips

Fuel line, brake line, and vapor line to the canister. While you're at it change them all now, or you can wait for the rest to rust through.

Thanks for advice all. I'm thinking what I need to do, most likely replace all those rusted lines as above poster said.

And to quoted post I bought a Chevy ss earlier in 2015 figuring I'd sell or dump the blazer. But I had a second thought to keep the car I've actually really liked over the years as a winter beater.

Especially to complement a RWD V8 car with less than 10k made when all said and done.

It's just become a recent struggle to keep this car healthy of late without pouring money in. I'm close though, fix the fuel lines, a few other miscellaneous stuff, I have a close to free car that handles winter snow perfectly, and keeps salt off the SS.

That's the goal at least.

You might check into 3/8" poly line. Fuel resistant, uses compression fittings specific to the plastic. I replaced the lines on my van after they rusted out. Living at the beach does have it's disadvantages.
