Fuel line leak


I bumped this fuel line with a ratchet while tightening the lower intake. Fuel squirted out when I hit it then stoped real quick. I think it leaked from where the rubber hose fits on the plastic elbo. I'm worried that it will leak later and cause a fire. Is it normal to leak and then stop when its bumped hard like that?

Are you missing a clamp on that hose?

So with the fuel system charged (run engine for a minute or two) then shut car off, twist/bend the elbow and fuel line and see where it's leaking.
