| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: There is a gas leak from the main fuel intake line at the top of the engine. it runs down the block and manifold. not only is there concern for fire but also the odor is very strong and unhealthy in the passenger cabin. this leak appears to be due to poor clamp or hose. i have had it fixed but it has returned. i am unsure of actual start date as i struggled with the gas odor and leakage from the vent hose that was recalled for over 1 year. when i finally got it fixed i noticed the gas smell did not go away, so i was prompted to look elsewhere and that is when i found this main engine fuel leak. perhaps it was leaking the whole time as the gas odor never dissipated. therefore i artificially used 4/01/1999 as the date. actually the previous, and only, owner had noticed the gas smell before i purchased but he also attributed to the fuel tank vent hose (recalled) and his atempts to fix were not successful either. *ak |
