Rog,
Check your fuel line to see if you have fuel at the pump. If
you do, then you may want to have a peek at the fuel pump
diaphragm. When I bought my `4 it hadn't run in a couple of
years. After checking I found a small tear in the pump
diapraghm. Once it was replaced, the car fired right up... even
with 2 year old gas in the tank.
`hope it helps

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
