| Short in connection at the fuel tank. plastic is melted through, there appears to be scoring on the inside of the unit that would be indicative of spark and or high heat. concern is that this could have caused a fire and or explosion. especially if this had occoured during a time frame when warm temperatures would have made for high fuel vapor content (i.e. it occoured in the middle of summer as opposed to stranding me in the middle of a snow storm as it did) | |||

| Vehicle stalled and then was restarted; vehicle was taken to the repair shop where it ran for several minutes before it started to smoke heavily from the rear; what was found was a faulty fuel pump which melted the electrical components on the interior of the tank; the vehicles electrical system failed to operate properly, as the fuse remained intact. | |||

| A short occurred at the junction of the electrical connection to the fuel tank. the short melted the plastic connection and burned through the assembly to the inside of the gas tank. there was evidence of ignition inside the gas tank. this clearly could have lead to a fire or explosion of the gas tank. | |||
