How do I separate the fuel lines from the anchor block in the engine near the firewall ? It's leaking at that point and I need to see what's going on. Please and thanks.

A blocked fuel filter could be the problem or a leak in the fuel supply line. The fuel filter should be on firewall near brake master, they need replacing every two years.

check under the hood for any leaks from the fuel line, which comes up in front of the firewall and then turns back toward the engine. from the rear.
This could be a vacuum line leaking to the exhaust canister, it could be a leak near the fuel tank or filler coming from a vapor recovery line that goes to the engine compartment. Check the trunk to see if it has that smell. If so, check for a vacuum line under the car and see if it is unhooked and/or cracked. (does the smell get worse after you've filled the tank?) If so, this may be the culprit.
Replace these lines as necessary.

Good luck.

NOTE The fuel filter is either on the left side of the firewall or next to the fuel pump near the left side of the fuel tank.

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions section.
2. Relieve the fuel system pressure.
3. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   Negative battery cable Fuel filler cap Fuel lines from the fuel filter Fuel filter from the bracket
   

To install:

1. Install or connect the following:
   
   Fuel filter to the bracket Fuel lines to the fuel filter Fuel filler cap Negative battery cable
   
2. Start the engine and check for leaks.

On these models, the fuel filter is part of the fuel pump assembly. Refer to Fuel Pump removal and installation.

its on passenger side, under hood, rear side of strut tower, mounted on fuel line thats if your motor is a 2.4 liter/ 2-brl 4 cyl.

2.4L ENGINES DONT HAVE TEST PORT ON THE FUEL RAIL.YOU HAVE DISCONNECT THE FUEL LINE QUICK CONNECT FITTING AT THE POINT WHERE THE FLEXIBLE FUEL FEED HOSE CONNECTS TO THE RIGID METAL LINE LEADING BACK TO THE FUEL TANK. YOU WILL FIND THIS FITTING BEHIND THE ENGINE NEAR THE FIREWALL.CONNECT THE SPECIAL ADAPTER HOSE TO THE LINES AND CONNECT A FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE TO THE ADAPTER HOSE. FUEL PRESSURE SHOULD BE 41 - 47 PSI. BECAREFUL MAKE SURE FUEL PRESSURE TESTER CONNECTIONS TIGHT DONT LEAK.GAS WILL SPRAY EVERYWHERE CAUSE FIRE.

You have two main wires. The large one that goes directly to the block and a smaller one that goes to the body (fender near the battery). That grounding continues, adding a large connection from the rear of the cylinder head to the firewall, several small harness grounds on the sides of the block and sometimes also near the computer. When there is a ground problem, it is often a good idea to clean all the ground points and even to run a separate ten gauge wire from the battery, attaching it at several points to the block, firewall, fenders and also to the main dash frame inside the cabin (running through the firewall). You cannot "overground" an electrical system, so doing that, even if it does not help a particular problem, will often avoid others.

Either one of the coolant hoses routed near the firewall is leaking (heater core lines, etc) or the intake manifold gasket (common failure point on those vehicles) is leaking and will need to be replaced. You will have to either run the engine or pressurize the system and look for leaks.

I don't know if your stating that gas is leaking on your engine but anyways....other than the bad syntax in your sentence. You may have leaky injectors and there maybe too much fuel getting into your combustion chamber and getting stuck around the catalytic converter which will give you really bad gas mileage, smell like fuel and destroy you Cat.Converter. Start with injectors to see if they are leaking and check all fuel lines thoroughly. Also check your charcoal canister (black canister on the firewall) to see if its broken, cracked or leaking anything. If its very strong. Check near the tank itself. If you ever see fuel on the ground when you fill your tank, you may have a torn line at the tank or the seal around the gas tanks fuel sending unit is leaking is leaking. Good luck Plz rate

follow the line up from the tank to the engine vcompartment from underneath the car, it should come from the firewall area near the back of engine to the efi system at the top of car

Have a look for a heater control valve that may be leaking in area near firewall on passenger side, just follow your heater hoses.
