it turned out to be a pinhole in the bottom of the filter leaking out the fuel...

Another of my summer goals is to replace all of the fuel lines of both the SDL and the Gwagen.

Figuring out which hose to order is the main problem at the moment.

A little bird told me that the metal lines under the car can be updated with a plastic line but I have yet to find any information on it.
