RW> Gas line leaks are too dangerous for my blood. A friend of mine had a 61
RW> Chevy pickup that he gave to a shop in east county San Diego for
RW> refurbishing and updating. They put a 454 w/700R4 from his 74 GMC pickkup

He is lucky the vehicle didn't end up being a car-be-que.  :)  

ABout 3 years ago (right before I got the new engine for my 02 Monte) my fuel
pressure regulator started a slow leak.  I remember it was around Christmas
and cold outside.  I was in the parking lot of a store and smelled gas. 
Opened the hood and saw a bit of gas leaking from my pressure regulator. 
Needless to say, I got it replaced the next day.  It was replaced again when I
got my new engine.

I still need to replace my fuel pump at some point to fix the float/gas guage.
Not an emergency project.  I'm just happy that won't involve dropping the
tank.  Just have to make sure all fittings are secure.
