Consumer Description

THE FUEL LINE UNDER THE CAR HAS RUSTED AND CORRODED TO THE POINT THAT I AM LEAKING A STEADY STREAM OF FUEL OUT OF THE LINE. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY, I SMELLED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE CAR STRUGGLED TO START SO I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND LOOKED UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE A LARGE PUDDLE OF FUEL WAS FOUND UNDER MY CAR WITH A STEADY DRIP OF FUEL CONTINUING TO DRIP FROM THE FUEL LINE IN FRONT OF MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE.
