so here's mine. this happened last night..
Went under the car to fix a few things. Middle exhaust hanger came dettached from the exhaust so I fixed that up. Then fixed a rattle from a heat shield. Figured it had been a good days work.. but then I notice my fuel filter looked a little old and I remembered I had a spare one that I hadn't installed yet. So I think to myself "if it ain't broke don't fix it"... and stare at it for a while KNOWING that a simple job turns into a project a lot of times. The wife wasn't home from work yet so I figure what the heck. Did the job and all and was proud of getting three things done in just under an hour. Start the car up had to pump the gas a little bit and then idled fine. I look under the car to check for leaks and see gas SPEWING out everywhere so I shut off the car and jack the car up again and sure enough when I had pinched the fuel line with vice grips (as per the haynes manual) I forgot to wrap it in a cloth/towel first and ended up making a break in the fuel line from the filter to hard line. Soooo I let out this huge sigh of discontent and pissed-off-ness and went inside and ordered a new fuel line. Now I don't have the car for a while and my entire house seems to smell like fuel even after two showers since. Ha... go me!
