Chevrolet: Celebrity fuel leak, chevy celebrity, fuel leak


Question
Hi,
I have a 4-cylinder 1988 Chevy Celebrity that's been sitting in a garage for two years.  Last year at this time it ran fine, but now it's leaking fuel.  I can get it to start, but after about ten minutes it starts leaking, causing me to believe it only leaks when it's under pressure.

It seems to be leaking from one of the fuel lines, which are all pretty rusty.  It's been driven in the north, so it has a lot of rust buildup from salt in the under-carriage.

Is there any way to find out where the leak is myself?  I've been trying to let down the fuel tank, but the bolts are too rusty.  The car's not worth taking to a mechanic, but I was hopeful I could fix it by cleaning out some of the rust and repairing the fuel lines.

Thanks.

HI Melissa;
          Well it is just that you must have a lot of rust and rot under there and with all the sand, salt and other chem. that are used on the snow  can / will rot out the fuel and brake lines and they must be replaced and if not changed the right way could result in a larger job or a fire or worse as it is gas , so I would have someone that can do the work look at it and play it safe OK..
