Default fuel leak

I have a leak in my fuel line... very small pin hole I drive a 91 daytona 2.5ltr... I dont think its in the main line just one of the return lines... as I believe if it was in the main line I would have problems starting and running the car... and its not one of the lines attached to the fuel filter by the tank... is thier any way I can fix this without replacing the line???? help???

Thanks...

On the side of safety I'd have to say replace the line. That's the cop part of me talking.....BTW, how did you notice the leak? Smell? Fuel under your car? Either one is an invitation to disaster.

Be safe.

I noticed the leak first by the smell and then some fuel under my car... the leak is very small... yes I know the situation is dangerous at times... will fix either way... thanks for the look out...

I have to agree with dusty there is alot of ways to fix it but for the cost do yourself a favor and fix it right. Replace the line .
