FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CHRONIC ODOR OF RAW FUE BOTH WITHIN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE .. DIFFICULT TO ISOLATE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE THE FUMES ARE OVERPOWERING AND EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE TO A CONNECTOR ON THE FUEL LINE.. THIS IS CLEARLY A POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN WHICH, WHILE EXPEDIENT IN MANUFACTURING IS HAZARDOUS TO OWNERS AS FUEL IS EXPELLED ONTO THE ADJACENT EXHAUST SYSTEM
