| Description of the problem | Positive wire to the fuel pump burned through to the open gas tank leaving the car able to run intermittently. The plastic housing was melted and burned and the wiring connector was ruined. My concern is the hot wire connector, hot enough to melt and leave the plastic connector burned, was hanging into the area open to fuel. I have pics. The car was running and occupied . |
