no, no fuel will come out of these pipes, the pump suck's the fuel through, are all the lights working on the dash , any ones on that you have not seen before, have you tried another/spare key, do's the car crank over but not start, or not crank at all, is there enough fuel in the tank (these are known to collapse the fuel tank, remove the filler cap and listen for a sucking noise) that's enough questions to be getting on with, post back some answers and i am sure someone like me will help just need as much info as possible
