Heard a mechanic talk about a fuel line weld that leaked once. Scary stuff. Glad you caught yours.

They actually welded a fuel line?

Hey
@fionabutler
, isn't welding fuel lines usually a bad idea? Modern fuel lines are often plastic or coated, so welding can cause leaks or weak spots. It's good your mechanic caught it, but it's better to replace the line instead.
