Consumer Description

DIESEL FUEL LEAKED OUT FROM AROUND THE ELECTRICAL PINS OF THE FUEL HEATER. THE FAILURE WAS NOTICED AS WETNESS AROUND THE CONNECTOR DURING A ROUTINE CHANGING OF THE FUEL FILTER. DISCONNECTING THE HEATER CONNECTOR FROM THE FUEL FILTER HEAD ALLOWED SEVERAL DROPS OF FUEL TO ESCAPE. THE FUEL FILTER HEAD WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY AND IS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR
