One is for the fuel delivery, one is for the return and the other one goes to the vapor cannister.

SOURCE: Buick Regal dying

You have a problem in the fuel pump relay circuit for sure then. I'm betting the relay, but it could be that dropping resistor.

SOURCE: 98 buick regal the lines attached to the gas tank

Those are vapor return lines. The engine uses some of the fuel, but not all so vapor not used will be sent back the fuel tank and reused by the engine. It's all a part of the emissions operation of the vehicles. Rather than porting the excess fuel into the air like the old vehicles did they created a return line to the tank to save fuel, protect the environment and get you better MPG or Miles Per Gallon.

SOURCE: I have a 98 buick regal, I broke the middle line

Usually there are three lines. One for the vent, and two for the fuel pump. One of the pump lines is pressure to the injectors and the other is a return line from the injectors. The vent line may not have a clamp on it and it is the smallest of the three.

If you didn't get any fuel coming out then it's a vent line. The other two are the feed and the return fuel lines.

Fuel pump replacement on a 1996 Buick Regal, 3.8L 6cyl, how

The pump is inside the gas tank, so the tank has to be drained and then removed from the car.
Make sure you have power and ground at the harness going into the tank before you drop it.

Gas hand stop working in my 1983 Buick Regal....

This problem is caused by a defective gas gauge sending unit (senses the level of the fuel in the gas tank), the gas gauge sending unit is located inside the gas tank, the gas tank must be removed to replace the gas gauge sending unit.

I have a 1999 Buick Regal ls car run out of gas

A couple of possibilities. 1st, check to see that the fuel pump is working. When you turn the key to on position (not all the way to crank the engine over), can you hear the pump? You should hear a humming sound from the gas tank . The fuel in the tank actually keeps the fuel pump from overheating. It is possible the pump is shot. It would be a good idea to change the fuel filter, as it may be plugged up from sediment from the bottom of the tank.
