So after waiting for 4 1/2 months for a shop to do some work to my car, i go up the the shop to get the car back. Keep in mind that they have not touched the car or put forth effort to do the work to the car. I slap some jumper cables on it to see if it will start, it cranks over but doesint fire up and run. I start to smell gas. I look under the car and there is a puddle of gas. I guess since the car sat all winter with not much gas in the lines they cracked. Does anyone know how hard it is going to be to replace them or how much they cost. Thanks ahead of time.

they are just rubber hose from your local parts store...

they are cheap, and it shouldnt be too hard to do

not that hard, its just tubing u have to bend and flare... if u take it to a shop it might cost alot more.. tubing is fairly cheap and u can buy the bender and flare tool as a kit..

check to make sure the lines aren't just off first and check your tank as well. dont overlook the obvious.
