Last friday I couldn't get my 96xj started then I noticed fuel running down my driveway. I got underneath and saw that the plastic line that makes the bend up the firewall had blown off. I cut that out and replaced it with a piece of fuel line and fuel line clamps. Then the next day it had blown off so I tightend the clamps.
This morning I tried to start it to go to work and nothing. More fuel running down my driveway. This time it was the plastic line that connects to the fuel rail. So I cut that off and replaced with rubber line and clamps. When I left work tonight no start again, more fuel running down the parking lot. The one clamp had blown off. I put it back on and retightened the clamp to drive home. Just a min. ago I went out to see if it would start because I have to be at work early tomorrow morning. I blew the line off again at the other clamp. I put it back on and didn't try restarting hoping it will start for me in the morning.
What is causing the lines to blow off like this? A pressure spike on startup? Any help would be great. I am getting tired of smelling like gasoline all day.
