Break line blowout between fuel tank and frame
Driving to work this morning I noticed that the brake pedal felt slightly spongy. Then while going to meet a forklift to have a 1400# Powermatic planer loaded in the bed, my brake light came on.
The rig is in town right now, parked with a massive Powermatic planer in the back. Dang, I hope it does not rain.
The leak appears to be coming from the brake line between the frame and the fuel tank. I was not able to get a light in to see exactly what the leak is. Does anyone have any experience with leaks at this location?

Negative- the leak is between the tank and frame. Someone mentioned that this is a common place for a leak but didn't elaborate why. I was hoping someone might know...is it just a straight shot of SS tubing at that location?
Yeah- the planer is a cherry (and a real beast). A Powermatic 180.

yep it happenned to me after a panic stop. the line busted right at the fuel tank from rusting. i replaced the entire line from the front to the rear with 3 pieces and bent them to match factory, it has been about a year and no other problems since. there are many threads about this topic.
