Re: 93 Corolla gas leak
Is the leaking fuel line made of metal or rubber? A rubber line would be fairly easy to replace, though you'll probably have to remove the rear seat to unhook the other end of the tubing from the fuel tank.
If the leaking tubing is metal, you could cut the bad section out and use a piece of rubber fuel tubing. I presume it is leaking due to rust. If so, you'll have to cut out all of the rusted portion to get a good seal at the ends when you use hose clamps (double clamp on each end). If you're adept at using a tubing flaring tool, you can flare the ends to provide a better seal around the tubing. Finally, if the replacement rubber is long enough, you'll probably need to secure it so it doesn't hang down.
An alternative would be to buy the piece from a used parts yard.
Welcome to AF...hope this helps!
