FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BY ME ON 2006. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR, YOU CAN TELL THERE HAD BEEN A FIRE. WHEN I RECEIVED THE RECALL LAST YEAR, IT APPEARED THAT THE FIRE OCCURRED FROM THE ENGINE FUEL RAIL. I AM UNSURE IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD IT CHECKED OUT. IF BY ANY CHANCE THE ENGINE FUEL RAIL HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED AND THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS IN FACT FROM THE FUEL RAIL, IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE ALL OTHER COMPONENTS FIXED THAT WAS AFFECTED BY THE FIRE? *TR
