THE CLIP THAT HOLD THE FUEL LINE UNDER THE ENGINE I DON'T BELIVE IS STRONG ENOUGH TO COMPLETE ITS TASK. I HAVE HEARD MANY INCIDENTS IN WHERE OWNER OF THE 94- PRESENT CAMAROS HAVE HAD FIRES UNDER THE HOOD OF THERE CAR BECAUSE THIS PLASTIC CLIP BREAKS AND THE FUEL LINE THEN COMES INCONTACT WITH THE VALVE COVERS WHICH BURNS A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE AND CAUSED A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. I BELIVE THIS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE FIXED. THANKS
