My first bad experience with my S13

Yeah, some bad stuff recently happened to me, with my '90 240 sx that I JUST bought a few days ago. A few days ago, I was driving home, when all of a sudden the RPM's started to die out, and alot of fuel began leaking from my engine- I figured that I may have a broken fuel line(?)

Anyways, my car died right by this overpass, with this semi-steep hill, that I couldnt push it over. So I pushed the car to this lot, and let it sit for the night, because my dad said he would tow it. But TWO days have now passed, and this lazy ****er is still sitting on his *** watching tv making his excuses- So I'm all pissed off, so I decide to just '**** it' and attempt to push the damn car over the hill on my own. But somehow, I lucked out, and some guy who had a truck with a tow rope came and helped me get the car home.

So now my car is sitting @ home, whenever I try to start it, fuel leaks, so Im assuming it's a broken fuel line. My (lazy) father says that these are fairly easy to fix. Any suggestions on how much this costs, etc? Thanks guys

have someone look where the fuel is leaking while you crank the car. Then go to Autozone an pick up yourself some fuelline. The size is 5/16s. It usually costs about a dollar a foot. My friend in his 89 just had a cracked fuel line and it cost us a dollar to fix.

my 90 used to leak fuel and it ended up being the bushings and seals around the injectors.
