FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
I OWN A 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA (VIN [XXX]). DUE TO FUEL LEAKS, ABOUT A MONTH AGO I HAD THE FUEL RAIL REPLACED AT E & D AUTO SERVICE IN DEARBORN MI. TODAY I READ IN THE DETROIT NEWS ABOUT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION OF THIS FAILURE. THE LEAKS WERE IN THE PLASTIC SECTION OF THE RAIL AS DESCRIBED IN THE DETROIT NEWS ARTICLE: HTTP://WWW.DETNEWS.COM/2003/AUTOSINSIDER/0311/03/AUTOS-314583.HTM *LA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
WHILE HAVING MY OIL CHANGED IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT MY FUEL LINE WAS SPRAYING FUEL ALL OVER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. VERY SMALL PIN HOLE BUT A STEADY STREAM OF FUEL. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THE INJECTOR LINE WAS SPRAYING FUEL ALSO. I NEVER PAID ATTENTION BEFORE BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GM WOULD USE PLASTIC FOR A FUEL LINE ANYWAY MAYBE THIS IS STANDARD I'M NO MECHANIC BUT AT WHAT GM WANTS FOR THE PARTS AND THEN TO HAVE THEM PUT ON MAYBE I SHOULD BE. OF COURSE GM IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN BUY THE FUEL PARTS TOO IMAGINE THAT! WELL HOPEFULLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND GM WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE DEFECTS. *LA
