Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The fuel line quick disconnect on my 2002 aprilia futura motorcycle cracked spontaneously, spilling gasoline after being parked in a garage. thankfully the water heater was far away so there was no fire, and thankfully i was not stranded. i have been unable to obtain a metal connector (the plastic connector was made by the colder corporation and i contacted them at www.colder.com but have not yet received a reply). my aprilia dealer in lomita california has not been of any help. my immediate solution was to purchase a kawasaki and i will attempt to fix the non-operable aprilia prior to selling it.*ak
