You are a man of remarkable cahoonahs, driving your van with a penny
patching a rusty fuel rail; even after all of the posts about "my van
spilled gas and now is toast..."

Call me a weenie, but even if I was a hundred miles from a phone, I'd risk
hitching a ride to call AAA before I tried that. Any hole in the fuel lines
larger than a dime is too large for me.

Well as I was driving through rural PA my fuel rail broke sending gas all
over the exhaust manifold. No help in sight. I removed the fuel rail made
(of plastic) The end that broke must have been made of steel and rusted
off.
I noticed that the hole had the same diameter as a penny so....
I jammed one in (found under floor mat) And used some 5 min epoxy to hold
it
fast.  It got me home!!!!  To be reaired permanently today.
