My fuel line that comes off the in the tank fuel filter is leaking fuel from the quick connector so I've odered a new filter assembly and a new fuel line. I've found plenty of fuel filter DiY but I cannot for the life of me find even a diagram of where that fuel line even goes to from the filter. Does anyone out there have a diagram or a write up anything would help. Thanks in advance.

Yes I just took some i don know how to post them yet. I've figured out where the line goes and have a game plan. I was just hoping someone had some insight.

Are you referring to the fuel line that connects to the top of the filter or the in tank connections?

Replaced the fuel line and the filter no leaks. After driving the car 2 short trips I got a loose gas cap message. I checked the cap it was secure. I pulled the seat and checked for any fuel leaking. I found none and none under the car where the fuel line connected. Hopefully it was just random.

Yes the new filter assembly did come with a new o-ring. It's funny that I never got a warning message while the fuel line was leaking. And it was leaking pretty bad. Like I said hopefully it's just a random message and doesn't happen again. Fingers crossed I definitely don't wanna have to take it to the stealership
