| Time is a key factor, as well as places that rust vehicles sooner than others. the failure is a fuel damper and/or fuel lines and/or fuel pump. the consequences are smell of fuel, leaks, erratic engine, and lead on one occasion to a lean condition that failed a timing belt. the fuel pump also failed. if this leak happens on the suction side of fuel pump it is elusive and dangerous. *nm | |||
