| Fuel line from gas tank to quick connect split near the muffler. with the pressure of the fuel pump, gasoline was spewing out of the line under the truck near the muffler. it had happened two weeks or so earlier but i didn't notice it because i'd had a gas spill from a leaf blower in the back of the van and thought that was the smell (even though i'd wiped it up). i went to my mechanic to see if he could clean the spill. he found the split that was causing the odor. it would seem to be a real fire hazard. the fuel line is plastic, my mechanic says, and there are very few available (none at factory warehouses). *tr | |||
