Update on gas leak

A few weeks ago i posted smelling gas with no leak. Took it to a garage they said it was fine. Then I had a small leak by fuel filter. Too to the stealership for a quote to splice my lines. They wanted 600$ to splice. 73$ for fuel filter. Long story short I went to auto zone. Got 3/8 injection tubing and high power clamps. New fuel filter 15$ . spent an hr of my time. And 30$ n fixes my 600$ repair

They make kits to repair plastic fuel lines, did you use that or you used regular rubber hose?

I hope you used ethanol grade fuel hose not just regular fuel hose.

Tell them to look up bulletin 12191B, my lsj is going in tomorrow for complete tank, pump, lines and fill tube, courtesy of GM. Oh, also getting the ignition and power steering recalls done as well.
