Fuel line leak / repair

[autumn walker]

The H2 has sprung a leak on the sending fuel line somewhere near the tank (based on sniff test around the truck).

The truck will turn over for a few seconds (approx 3x longer than usual) and then will fire and run fine. After driving the truck the rear driver's side area stinks (where the fuel lines run). The combination of the hard turn over and then the stinking gas line area leads me to believe pressure gas line.

So - what are my options? Can I repair it somehow? Should I replace the entire line (how the hell do you do that)?

i would get under there and look at the entire line, figure out where the leak is actually coming form then from there we can determine how to repair it

If you smell gas don't drive it. I lost a car in a fire, it smelled like gas when i got in and burned 5 minutes later. I'd look real hard for that leak.

Dropped the tank yesterday - turns out the return line on the sending unit snapped clean off (at the sending unit).

New sending unit / fuel pump is on order... the whole thing is pretty badly corroded so I might as well replace it while its down. Who knew that the H2 uses a specific sending unit? It's not the same as any other GM truck.
