fuel problem?	Sign In

I have a 1991 olds ceria, a few weeks ago i started have trouble with the car having loss of power, not all power just about 35% or so. me a couple of my buddies all thought it was a fuel filter problem but i check that and the fuel ran through it fine. I had unhooked it and try to start the car and no fuel had came out like it should, so i figured it was the fuel pump. well i didnt have the time so there in my drive way it sat for a week or two. well i just went out side and tryed to start it, and bam the peace of Sh!t fires right up. I let it run afew minutes and reved it up for a few minutes thinken it just might be some gas in the lines but no it still ran.

Oh and yeah just to add, when i unhooked the fuel filter I must have twested the line because nowI have a damn leak. I really dont have the knowing on how to take the gas tank off. which it may not be to hard but, its kinda risky doing it in a 4 car parking lot, with the people walken back and forth bitchen about the smell of gas. I would just take it in to have it fixed but i dont have the money for that. SO if any1 has an idea please let me know.
