Interestingly, I just walked by my chevelle this morning and it was leaking gas, wuite a bit actually! The rubber line between the glass filter and the fule pump is leaking, not sure if I used incorrect line or if it somehow got cut... but I'm glad it wasn't near my intake!
Wow okay definitely changing mine in the next few nights I can't rely on my cities fire dept so I can't take the chance of losing this truck

I would definitely change that filter. Had a very similar one on mine and it never "broke" but I noticed it leaking one day. It had been sitting in the garage for a month while I rewired the whole truck. Once I was able to start it, I let it run for a minute and shut her down to find out that fuel was dripping rather quickly from the end of the filter. No cracked glass either.
I had driven with that at least once a week for 6 months prior to that with no problems. Just goes to show it can happen at any time. One big cause I've read about is vibration. And more so if it is resting on something, or close and the vibration makes it hit the intake or valve cover or whatever.
I feel better knowing I have a lot less chance of burning up my truck, or anyone inside it.
