push the fuel lines back onto the filter

ive checked the filter and all lines are connected. however the problem only lasts for about 10 mins after the ignition is turned off. Do you think i may need to replace the filter

could b a hole in the fuel feed pipes under the car (just lil rubber tubes), my lass had this problem with her car, there was a hole just under the rear wheel, pissed out petrol n stopped wen ignition wasnt on

get it jacked up and get under there, make it leak and go from there.

I said filter lines as that happened to both me and simo once upon a time

THe fuel lines have adouble-click fastner... It will more than likely be a fitting come loose.

Do as Scott says and get under there and push the leaking connector back on... HARD.
