Your ABS light is on because the system detected a failure in the brake system. Sounds like either your master cylinder is bad or one of your brake lines has ruptured. Usually a master cylinder seal will degrade over time, not insantly. In a dual master cylinder configuration like all newer vehicles, you should still have some braking, even if a front or rear line ruptures. 1st step, check your fluid level.
Is it failing at the copper/brass fitting going into the tank (the tank check valve)? That area can be 250 degrees F or more during operation. Plastic, in my opinion is not acceptable here. I'd recommend getting some 1/4" OD copper refrigeration tubing and the appropriate compression fittings, and replacing the line.
The position of the fuel line makes it prone to vibration and eventual rupture. The dealer did not secure it properly when it was replaced. Since this can be hazard I'd suggest you have the dealer make the proper repair and send an email to the Consumer Product Saftey Commission (WWW.CPSC.gov)
unless modifications were made to the factory settings then you can go to any parts store ad buy a brake line. there is a hard metal line that runs from the master cylinder to the back of the car and then there is a rubber hose that connects the hardline to the brake system. that is all you will have to replace.
remove the tire and check and see, you may be able to see it by jacking up the car and crawling under it. all you need is a wrench and a new hose, you will have to bleed your brakes after replacing the hose.
Replace the petcock. The rubber diaphragm is ruptured. I'd also bet your fuel mileage dropped cause the ruptured diaphragm is allowing raw fuel to be sucked into the intake manifold.
Either a line is ruptured, or the slave cylinder or master cylinder has failed. Is it leaking fluid? If you see puddles under the car, you have a rupture. If not, it's either the slave or master that has failed. Start with the slave, simply because it's less work and usually a lot less money.
