   RW> Gas line leaks are too dangerous for my blood. A friend of mine had a 61   
   RW> Chevy pickup that he gave to a shop in east county San Diego for   
   RW> refurbishing and updating. They put a 454 w/700R4 from his 74 GMC pickkup   
      
   He is lucky the vehicle didn't end up being a car-be-que.  :)     
      
   ABout 3 years ago (right before I got the new engine for my 02 Monte) my fuel   
   pressure regulator started a slow leak.  I remember it was around Christmas   
   and cold outside.  I was in the parking lot of a store and smelled gas.    
   Opened the hood and saw a bit of gas leaking from my pressure regulator.    
   Needless to say, I got it replaced the next day.  It was replaced again when I   
   got my new engine.   
      
   I still need to replace my fuel pump at some point to fix the float/gas guage.   
   Not an emergency project.  I'm just happy that won't involve dropping the   
   tank.  Just have to make sure all fittings are secure.
