Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Front engine gasoline powered motorhome was in service shop for leaking rear axle hub. after that was fixed, shop owner was moving unit when significant fuel was observed leaking from engine area (front of unit) onto the ground. fuel also soaked the carpet near the driver and driver's foot became wet with gasoline. fuel leaked due to retaining clip failure on fuel pressure regulator located on top of engine on driver's side. as a result, high pressure fuel from fuel injection system was allowed to flow freely over the engine and sprayed the underside of the motorhome with some fuel entering the motorhome where the engine cover meets the floor of the motorhome. fuel regulator and retaining clip replaced. additional details can be viewed here: http://irv2.infopop.cc/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/8626012545/m/9871080422/p/1. *nm
