Tracey,
There is a rubber fuel hose between the metal line that come from the tank
and the metal line that comes up the back of the engine. If it is not in
perfect shape, replace it! If it breaks all the gas will drain out of you
gas tank and it could be a serious hazard especially if you store your car
indoors. Don't ask me how I know...
