Will have it towed to a garage tomorrow...unless anyone know the diameter of the fuel line for a temporary fix to make it home or to a garage. Like 5 minutes drive or so...
Hope no one gets any smart ideas about the fuel...



It's either 1/4" or 5/16" but being 50psi I don't know that I would patch it to get it to the mechanic vs just let it be towed. That said, some good rubber fuel line and hose clamps would probably work... but as someone said above, why chance it with a fuel leak...
