Fuel leak problems 300SE

[jhagen]

I have a 1992 300SE that has a bad fuel leak. I thought I isolated it to the fitted fuel hose and after removing it found that it was only a small part of the problem. After firing the engine post fuel line installation, I found a large leak coming from one of the fuel pumps (or what I assume is a fuel pump). I can't really tell where it is coming from, but it looks like it is literally pouring out of the brass fuel line that connects the pump to the filter. Anyone have any advice on how to proceed with this? This is a difficult job since I am having to mess with metal fuel lines and small components that are near the gas tank. Also, how do I change out the fuel pump without pouring gas all over myself?
