FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON 11-01-2015, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, A FUEL LINE BEGAN TO SPRAY GASOLINE. THE LEAK APPEARED TOWARD THE REAR TIRE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE LEAK WAS NOTICED BECAUSE THE FUEL CAUGHT FIRE. THE FUEL MUST HAVE BEEN SPRAYED ONTO A HOT PART. THE ON-FIRE FUEL LANDED ON THE PAVEMENT WHERE IT CONTINUED TO BURN UNTIL MANUALLY EXTINGUISHED WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. TURNING OFF THE ENGINE STOPPED THE SPRAYING, BUT FUEL CONTINUED TO DRIP FROM THE AREA FOR SOME TIME. THE REPAIRING MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE LINE WAS RUSTED AND HAD A HOLE. HE SAID THAT PART OF THE LINE SITS IN A POCKET WHERE IT STAYS WET AND DIRT/SALT ACCUMULATE. HE FOUND A FUEL VAPOR LINE ALSO WAS HEAVILY RUSTED. THE LINES WERE REPLACED AT A COST OF 588.31. I'M REPORTING THIS NOW BECAUSE OF THE RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT OF AN INVESTIGATION OF SOME MODEL YEARS FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY YEAR WAS NOT ON THE LIST, BUT THE LINES RUSTED. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO READ THIS REPORT. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE ADDITIONAL DETAILS OR IF I MAY CLARIFY ANY ITEM.
