| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was heading to the country on a 2-hour drive and the weather was hot above 80 degrees. so i guess you can say the engine was also very hot. i also had the ac going which is a good description of the environment at the time of failure. i was on a narrow country paved road traveling about 25 mph. i know this speed to be true because i was in a development where the speed limit is low and i always travel slow in the development. there was a parked car on the side of the road and i had to move slightly off the paved part of the road onto a slight decline unpaved part of the road then when i passed the vehicle turned back onto the paved surface. in effect at on time the drivers side 2 wheels were on the decline unpaved road. when i turned back onto the road the car stalled and it was hard to steer but this was not a concern because i was going slowly. i tried to restart which any body would do and then began to smell a strong gasoline odor. i pop opened the hood but did not see any wrong but did notice what appeared to be gasoline on the floor under the engine. with the hood opened i tried to start the car again and now saw gasoline all over the hot engine. after quickly wiping the gas from the engine i found the fuel line had separated and i was not surprised since this was a snap together part that sits on top of the engine.*ak |
