| Description of the problem | Fuel supply line ruptured in engine compartment. The result was fuel under pressure spraying on the engine. The rupture was not a complete loss of supply to the engine so the engine continued to run while fuel sprayed soaking the engine compartment in fuel. The dealership reported that the line must have been moved and would not stand behind the part that was defective. The vehicle has been owned by my company since new and the area in question had never been dislodged since new. |
