Rusted out lines
We got an 07 a week or so ago and this past weekend got to where it would crank over and start.
While it was running I could smell really strong gas and just looked down and there was a big puddle of gas.
Looking under the car and sure enough the same thing that was wrong with our 04 coupe.
This one was definitely worse than the 04.
Both lines (fuel & evap) lines were rusted through.
The seller told me it had an evap leak, I kinda knew it was going to be the rusted lines, since the car spent most of its life in Ohio.

Yes they do, I found some online that come in 3 pieces to connect together for $160.
Couldn't see paying that when I got newish ones for less than $20.

Have you looked at the Pull A Part out on Centennial Blvd, Tooter? That's the good thing about being in Tennessee. You can get a LOT of stuff off cars there and not worry about rust. I'm a cheap bastard, so that's what I'd have done.

I got those from the only ION they had. They had a little surface rust but, I sprayed them with some self etching primer and paint and should be good for a long time.
