| Description of the problem | My van left small fuel marks in driveway, i investigated it physically and found fuel to be leaking by fuel pump housing near a fuel line, i assumed it was leaking from the o-rings on quick disconnect line. I replaced o-rings and the problem still exists. I googled the issue and to my surprise there are many similar issues, people explaining how their vehicles where leaking in the same location. After browsing i found a website where there was a picture showing fractures on the housing near the fuel line that i had worked on. Sure enough i rechecked my vehicle and there were the fractures. Leaking fuel. I just wanted to post this on this website to inform other owners, that if they smell fuel from their van, they should get this issue checked asap. This is a real hazard, and could be really dangerous. |
