FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
PULLED INTO GARAGE AND THERE WAS A A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. DISCOVERED A GASOLINE PUDDLE WHERE THE FUEL LINES GO INTO THE THROTTLE BODY. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICING DEALER, THIS LEAK, WH EN BAD ENOUGH FORCES GASOLINE INTO THE MAIN WIRE HARNESS . THIS LEAK , AS I UNDERSTAND IT, RESULTED FROM THE FAILURE OF "O" RINGS WHERE THE FUEL LINE GOES INTO THE THROTTLE BODY. I THINK THE "O" RING FAILURE MIGHT RESULT FROM DEFECTIVE "O" RINGS. I DON"T KNOW THAT FOR POSITIVE. I CAN NOPT HELP BUT THINK THIS FAILURE IS A SIGNIGICANT SAFETY HAZARD. I AM AWARE OF TWO MORE SIMILAR FAILURES IN THIS AREA. IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY HAZARD THE C OST FOR REPAIR OF THIS FAILURE WAS $2,268.25. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THIS FAILURE.
