All they need to do is using a Double flare tool place nut flare nut on tube then use tool to make double flare. Tell MUST be double NOT SINGLE flare.

Thanks - I called and the said they actually had a double flare on the line, and it still leaks from the bottom of the filter (and they've tried different filters).

If it weren't the fuel line, I'd tell them just to weld it, but I don't think they'd be up for that option.

Check with Toyota and see if they have a replacement fuel line, if not go to junkyard and remove from donor car, 90-92 Prizm or Corolla.

I am having problem when my car first starts to drive - if I give it to much gas it bogs out and wont accelerate! Also it is very slow and delayed as I accelerate. Once I get past 45 mph the car has no poblem picking up speed or getting enough gas or whatever it may be - well I lied it does get a little funky and stutter if I really get on it (trying to accelerate from 50 - 65 faster than usual) If you have any idea what the problem could be or what I could look into to solve this problem please let me know - also I would love to know what part or parts I need how much they would cost and how much for installation. Ball park estimate is okay. Thank you

You will have to get the fuel pressure checked with a mechanical gauge, this can (generally) only be done by Toyota or someone with the special tool set required to measure it.

I would go ahead and change the fuel filter, if you can, if problem persists, you will need to start as I mentioned above, fuel pressure first, then ignition if pressure is OK.
