| I was backing out of my driveway when i noticed a large puddle of liquid coming from underneath of my vehicle. upon investigating the cause i found that one of the plastic fuel lines which runs from the fuel filter to the gas tank had a large hole in it. the amount of gasoline leaking from this hole was very large in volume and it was spraying all over the area under the rear portion of my vehicle including the tailpipe . if the tasilpipe had been hot from normal engine temp there would have been a rather large explosion resulting in serious injury to myself. auto makers should not be allowed to use plastics in the manufacture of automobile fuel lines.*ak | |||
