Where it the fuel filter located?

No year, no make, no model, no engine size, therefore you will get no answer. But I can tell you it is located somewhere on the fuel system. May be in the fuel tank or somewhere along the fuel line. That is about all I can tell you with the information you provided.

How does a mechanic repair a leak in a fuel line is there more than one line.?

AnswerI am a licenced technician, and it all depends on what section of line is leaking, if the lines are steel or plastic, and what the rest of them look like. If a steel fuel line is leaking because it's rusted out, (eg. eastern Canada, northeastern US), chances are that large sections of new line will need to be spliced in; in extreme cases, new line will need to be run from the engine all the way back to the fuel tank. In the case of plastic fuel line, if the line is simply cut or split, it can sometimes be repaired with purpose-built fittings; if not, the complete section of line needs to be replaced. Many vehicles have different size fuel lines; General Motors vehicles, for example, usually run 3/8" line to the engine, 5/16" line for return to the fuel tank, and 1/4" for vapour return. It all depends on the vehicle; if the lines are damaged so badly that a technician can't tell which one is leaking, then they must all be replaced. It does no good to patch a bad section, only to disturb the other ones so they start to leak. I wouldn't recommend fuel lines as a do-it-yourself project.


Where is the fuel gauge located?

The fuel gauge is located in cars. It is used to tell how much fuel is left in the tank. When this gets low the tank will need filling up with more fuel.

Whats the best way to fix a gas leak on a 1988 GMC 2500?

Where is the leak at? Is it under or near the engine? If so it may be the fuel filter. It may need tightening or need a new seal. If it is at the gas tank there are sealant kits where you mix two types of paste together and put it over the hole. Depending on where you live (near salt water) and the age of the truck it could be that your tank is rusted out and finding a good used one is the best bet. In between the tank and the engine is a fuel line that runs along the frame and sometimes there is a fuel filter there somewhere. Check it and any rubber hoses or loose hose clamps. Without knowing where it is though its hard to tell how to fix it.
