FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
I PURCHASED A 1995 DODGE CARAVAN ON JUNE 12, 2004. IT WAS HAVING A FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM REPAIRED A FUEL INJECTOR. 9 DAYS LATER GAS FUMES FILLED THE CAB AND THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE ON THE LEFT SIDE FACING THE ENGINE. I GOT MYSELF & 6MO OLD DAUGHTER OUT AND THE FIRE DEPT. PUT OUT THE FIRE. ENGINE COMPLETELY BURNED, HOOD. HAVE DETAILED PHOTOS. DEALERSHIP WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, DODGE WON'T RESPOND. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS.

Burke, VA
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
DRIVER LEFT CAR TO OPEN GATE. DRIVER SMELLED STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. STOPPED ENGINE. RAISED HOOD. SAW WET FITTING ON GAS LINE. PULLED BACK PLASTIC SLEEVE. GAS LINE WAS RUBBED THROUGH. STARTED ENGINE, CHECKED LINE. MAJOR FOUNTAIN OF GAS SPRAYING OVER ENGINE! STOPPED ENGINE, WITH NO FIRE, A TRUE MIRACLE. CUT BACK HOSE, SLIPPED OVER EXPOSED STAB FITTING AND APPLIED HOSE CLAMP. NO MORE LEAK. WILL TAKE TO DEALER FOR REPAIR THIS WEEK. DISCOVERY WAS JUST PURE LUCK. THE CAUSE WAS A WIRING HARNESS LINK FROM THE CARBURETOR THAT WAS TIGHTLY ROUTED ACROSS THE RUBBER GAS LINE. THE PLASTIC SLEEVE CONCEALED THE DAMAGE. THE SLEEVE SHOWED NO WEAR, BUT THE RUBBER HOSE INSIDE WAS RUBBED THROUGH. I WAS LUCKY. A LOOSER LOOP OF WIRING HARNESS WOULD HAVE AVOIDED THE PROBLEM FOREVER.
