i have a fuel leak right wear the hard line from the tank meets the fuel filter. it has the typical fuel line connection there and it is rusted to all hell… my question is. can i splice into the hard line and get a new connection? can i rig it to the hard line then hose clamp it onto the filter? its for a 97 grand am and its only my beater car thats why i want to do it the inexpensive way and i definately dont want to drop the tank. ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/000_0382.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/000_0382.jpg) ---
