I appreciate the reply, hopefully hellshotord can shed some more light :)

 

That is the fuel tank vent. I don't see it included in a new tank. That is a quick connect fitting on the tube.

It seems to be just a check valve, I would try some epoxy sealant. Ujnless it is the hose is cracked, that should be available.

 

Ill ask my mechanic about that don, thanks.

 

Even if that doesn't work I can't imagine that a local auto recycler couldn't beat that price by a couple hundred dollars.

Depends on exactly where the leak is. My bet would be the QC is not set.

 

the entire yellow piece looks to have fuel coming from around it.
not sure how or why, to be honest, as it is very solidly placed, we couldnt get it to budge even a hair, of course, we also werent trying very hard not to break anything so we didnt apply much force either.

scratch all that, I found 12 fuel tanks locally at salvage yard for $80, also have one of the extended rear spoilers at one. I think Im just going to go that route. I can get it tomorrow and have the HHR back on the road by the wknd :)

 

got her back up and running today, got the fuel tank yesterday, it looked to be almost brand new and in definitely better condition than mine.

my mechanic hard at work, lol.
cost me about $160.0 in total.

 

Uh. Safety 1st. Put some wheel chocks on those front tires !

 

The car is on stands.

 

And ??
Car in front rolls back some how and knocks it off those stands. Just saying, the wheels need to be chocked for added safety.
Believe me, 30 years in the Fire/EMS profession, I've seen a few 'working on the car" accidents where they didn't think they needed those extra safety precautions either.

 

the car in front is chocked. :)
I appreciate the concern, and I actually mentioned something to him a few times, mostly about how I couldnt crawl under the car like that.
but the car in front is chocked at both front tires where the weight is and the psngr tire on the HHR had a wood block on it.
