I have a tiny gas leak and its as small as a period I need help

Hello, there everyone I have a question, I have a little gas leak but it's small as a period and it's on top of the gas line hole where the temporary fix solution is. I temporary fix by putting another plastic rubber hole on top of it with 3 hole champs sealed it in. The leaking is 90% sealed up. I know I need to get this fix as soon as possible. The rubber gas line does it come apart from the metal tube and replace the rubber gas line that is connected to the metal tube. Or do you need to get it completely removed the whole fuel-line. Does anyone know how much it cost to get it fix? Thank you for the help.

You can repair it with a coupler like in this you tube video, but I would not do it on the car with a heat gun.

There is replacement nylon fuel line to replace the whole section.

Yes Larry is right, there is a nylon replacement that is very easy to use to replace the entire section. i did it on my Riviera a few years ago an it's holding up great.

There are 2 different fuel line sizes on this car as you probably know, so you need to make sure you get the right one of course. It comes with a barbed fitting that you use to connect the old line and new line. You have to heat each end of the nylon lines to be able to slip the barbed fitting into each end. When it cools, it self-seals and does wonderfully.

Andrew did not mention that the nylon repair/replacement kit is easy to get. Just telephone your nearby auto parts stores and ask if they carry repair kits for nylon fuel lines. The CarQuest and NAPA stores come to mind, however just about all of them carry the ktis or know where to send you to get one.

Just to take the mystery out of this thing, have a look at this: http://www.rockauto.com/en/tools/fuel/air,fuel+line,fuel+line+nylon+repair,1001129

What part are you trying to remove? The end with the connector or the end that attaches to the metal tube?

The one attach to the metal tube.

You will probably have to take a razor blade and carefully cut it off.  Cut it length wise until you just make it through the nylon hose.  If your kit came with a barbed fitting you could cut the nylon hose on the car just before the leak and then use the barbed fitting to connect the new piece to the old line.

Make sure you have the fuel rail depressurized, that you work on a cold engine and that you have all the parts you need before you proceed. Be ready for some fuel to leak out.

Oh how much is the kit ?

You can also get a brass 3/8" nylon to nylon union at NAPA or any parts store I imagine.Just cut the bad section out and connect the two pieces with the union.
