I've got a serious quantity of gas leaking from my '86 4Runner with a 22RE(430K miles). The gas is leaking from a line mounted to the top of the frame rail and it appears that the floorpan is resting on top of the line(which is what caused the line to break, I suspect), making it difficult to remove or even cut the line so I might be able to splice into it.

Here's the real question: Is there any disadvantage to routing a replacement line around the place where the floorpan is resting on the frame rail(I obviously cant put the new line on top of the rail again)? Do I need to take any further precautions to protect this fuel line since it isn't going in the same place the OEM put it? Has anyone seen this happen before?

Thanks for any feedback...
Y'all are the best.
