Consumer Description

THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND INJECTORS (AS COUNTING FROM THE SERPENTINE BELT SIDE OF ENGINE). MY WIFE AND I NOTICED THIS ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2018 BECAUSE OF A STRONG GAS SMELL AFTER OUR VAN WAS PARKED. I REMOVED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THINKING A FUEL INJECTOR SEAL HAD FAILED BUT DISCOVERED THE CRACKED RAIL INSTEAD. THE CRACKED RAIL WAS ALLOWING FUEL TO PUDDLE ON TOP OF THE ENGINE AND THE FUEL WAS BOILING OFF WHEN THE VAN WAS HOT.
