My trusty ol '94 YJ has been sitting for awhile, waiting for me to heal a foot injury, and when I started her up to move her out of storage, she is leaking gas from somewhere in the tank area...leaking seemed to stop when I shut engine off, I thought maybe hole in fuel line, and maybe only leaking under pressure from pump. I haven't got the creeper out yet (I'm 64, I move slow, lol...) to investigate, but anyone here have an idea, or seen this before?
 
Yup, burst fuel line, likely at the fuel filter inlet
It has a very sharp bend in it.
Be aware that the hard line on the frame is 5/16" while the filter and the pump are 3/8"
Suppose to take special molded hoses for the size differences and the bend.
Someone used regular fuel hose on mine instead of injection hose.
Mine sat too, for about 10 years but the PO didn't mention that.
