Good news kinda.
It's not the line itself, it's the "pipe" coming right out of the sending unit itself that has a pinhole in it.
So I guess all I need is a new sending unit.
Having trouble unplugging the "black" plug, white one came off, but the black one for the cover is being stubborn. Tips?

So I tried taking it off.
Stupid question, which way do I turn? Since I'm taking the nut off the line at the top of the sending unit I'm turning counter clockwise no?
I was bending the piping coming off the sending unit itself so I stopped for now and sprayed penetrating fluid for now.
Not too concerned about damaging the sending unit in the car now, since I'll be replacing it.

The 2G swivel point is under the car IIRC, not at the sending unit.

Well if you upgraded the lines you could run it though the cabin if you like.

I got it out of the car just now! Only thing is I wonder how I'm going to get the hard line back onto the sending unit?
I had to twist and hold it with a clamp then keep twisting, so to put it back on without having the line twisted, I either have to get under the car and take it off there, then put it back on or twist it a bunch and hope to get it on straight.
I'm confused.

If you have any plans to upgrade the fuel filter now would be a good time, then you can just run new lines with an fittings.

The filter on a 2g is on the firewall, under the battery. Not sure if you want to go there just yet but Mike, can you snap a pic of what you're dealing with. Text it to me.

It's just the line, I have to twist the hell out of it to get it back on properly without getting under the car. I don't have a jack at the moment, so no going under the car. My plan is to do just that, get all the lines on and then call CAA to get some gas and a boost since my battery is dead and hopefully she's up and running today.

Yeah I twisted the sh!t out of the line, but couldn't twist it enough to get it on completely, but it's on. I'm thinking I'm going to have to jack it up and do it right. Can't be "twistable" but completely tightly on no? Of course dummy. So yeah, gonna borrow a jack from someone. The Jack in the picture broke.

Had one, lent it to someone and it broke.
My buddy has one, but he couldn't drop by in time and is out of town now.
I may have to bus it over to CT and pick one up, but wanted to get a better one than I had last time so it doesn't crap out as quickly.
No offense taken.
Edit: none on sale at the moment either

Had one, lent it to Brendan Warwick and it broke Lmao its still there if you want to try it, but the cast knuckle snapped into a few pieces lol. I would bring you one, but still don't have a licence. Hell I would've came and fixed your car along time ago if I had my licence... It is ct brand though, maybe it has lifetime warranty, I will try next time I go and let you know if you have a new one or not
