| Description of the problem | I have had to replace the fuel pump because the housing cracks and causes a fuel leak. The plastic tube from the gas tank to the fuel pump cracks and it is continually loose. The part cannot be fixed without replacing the fuel pump. This is extremely dangerous because the gas fumes are so close to the very hot exhaust pipe. Additionally i had to be very careful not to park my car in the garage because of the risk of fumes. |
