Consumer Description

RIDING MY 40 MILES HOME, I KEPT SMELLING GASOLINE BUT IT WAS CONGESTED SO I DISMISSED IT. GOT HOME AND DROVE INTO THE GARAGE AND A BIG PUDDLE OF GASOLINE SPLASHED ONTO THE GROUND FROM UNDER MY LEFT FENDER FROM MY 2007 BMW RT1200. UPON EXAMINATION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PLASTIC TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP HAD CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AROUND WHERE THE QUICK DISCONNECT FITTING GOES FOR THE PRESSURE LINE. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE FITTING IS ALSO MADE OF PLASTIC AND HAD ALSO CRACKED IN THE THREAD AREA. *TR
