Saab: 1993 saab 9000 fuel leak, saab 9000, fuel leak


Question
I have a 1993 saab 9000 cde. a small fuel leak underneath the car at the back. This leak does not impact driving so i assume it is not a fuel pump issue; what are the possibilities of where the leak is originating.

Thank you

Michele:

 Please, do not wait another second to have it repaired!! As one who has had a car burn up under him, I know how fast things can happen!  A stray spark or cigarette could cause quite a disaster!  My guess is the most likely area of the fault to be at the fuel pump fittings/fuel lines on top of the tank,(small $$) although one cannot discount a small crack or hole in the tank itself (bigger $$$.

  Hope this helps,
