| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was traveling north on route 93 north of boston in rush hour. someone started flashing lights and honking at me. i pulled over (fortunately 150 feet before the breakdown lane is used as a travel lane) and smelled gas. the high-pressure fuel line had popped off the fuel tank under the access plate under the rear seat. i cleaned up the mess as much as possible, pushed the fuel line back in, let it sit for 15 minutes and then proceeded home. the white retaining clip is not broken. i don't know how the fuel line came out, but this is now the second time, it also happened october 29 to my wife and we had to have the car towed home. i added stainless wire to keep the bracket from allowing the fuel line to pop out again and ordered the bracket that saab has to address a similar problem on the 9-3. *jb |
