I am not sure how it is rubbing a hole in the line without a picture or more detail. how about putting a piece of rubber between the line and what it is rubbing on. if the line goes through the chassis somewhere and is rubbing, put a rubber grommet there. ---

> [@keith16](#): > > fixed [fuel-line leak] 4 times will no do it again if it stops in traffic and i get hit then they will fixe it Trying to imagine their motivation for that. hmmm … Are they fixing this leak under a repair-warranty, no cost to you each time? If so, that would be a motivation at least. I’m thinking your best bet is to get a different shop working on this problem, along the lines of WW’s post above. ---

> [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > Trying to imagine their motivation for that I’m guessing (as we all are… ) but I think he means that, if it is hit, the other party’s insurance company will pay to repair it. Or, perhaps _Mr. Rubin_ will pay. Quien sabe? ---

> [@keith16](#): > > fuel line 1/4 od keeps rubin hole in it ive fixed it 4 times will no do it again Well then I guess it will leak again. You should also work on your “fixin” skills. ---
