    Thanks, Mike, for the quick help. I just got back from the corner Exxon
    station, where I was able to get it fixed. Since we couldn't see where the
    hose ran without putting it on the lift, he was able to splice the hose
    (turned out to be the return line) with 3/16 metal tubing. I checked it
    again when I got home and it's not leaking at all. When I get to
    Spartanburg I'll have them replace the hose.
     
    I'm just glad I found it before I hit the road!!!!
