Unhappy Help fuel leak! =(

I went and filled my tank today and I smelled fuel, looked under and theres drips coming from my tank. The car stalls out if you come to a stop. There is also a buzzing noise coming from the front of the car. I would like advice on what i should do, someone told me it could be a fuel line?

Thanks for your help,

I have an 86 240 wagon and failed smog because of a fuel leak...(wrong injectors) but I think I still leak gas...went down to the junk yard and...

noticed a small connecting hose from the fuel pump to the fuel filter had been replaced on the incredibly rusted wagon I was striping for parts...I noticed two hoses going into the tank that will get all cracked and brittle...pretty cheap replacement I think...

if you have a 240 86, as I do and only give info for that year, you got a semi rigid metal hose going to the injector manifold but it stops just before entering the engine area from below then it becomes rubber to the injector manifold if you can call it that...the other one I think goes to the pressure regulator and does the same...it stops before entering the engine area then converting it to rubber hose...

check those hoses
or check the rubber o rings on your injectors...pretty cheap to replace.
ON THE JUNK CARS...I NOTICED A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE GAS TANKS...ALL OF THEM!!!!! WHERE THE TANK SITS IT MIGHT BE PRONE TO SCRAPES FROM THE ROAD OR ROCKS ETC...
