Fuel line is rusted, strong smell of Fuel, needs a total replacement.

The fuel line on the drivers side just in front of the rear tire is leaking fuel.

Fuel brake line on driver's side rear wheel corroded and sprung a leak. Leaky area was wrapped in a heat protecting shield and which probably collected water and caused the excessive corrosion. I notice many other similar complains regarding Chevy HHRs.
