Initially I was told it was my fuel pumps but since they are working fine it cant be them. In fact this was shown to be the case by a mechanic who was steering me in the right direction, I think. Recently I have had the car up on lifts, three times in fact. The last time was at a muffler shop where we left it running. The leak at the main fuel hose is quite evident. Obviously I was unable to have any muffler work done at the time.

I apologize for the long post. This forum is the most helpful.
Thank you,
Jason
Jason,

If you can see the leak, why don't you just fix it? Often times, it is just a matter of tightening or replacing worm clamps, or a section of hose, or even a section of metal tubing. Any of them can be had for a few $$ and installation is a ten minute job once you get under there. I sure wouldn't pay someone $300 for that, (though I'm not scared to get a little smelly from gas/diesel fuel!)
