Consumer Description

THIS PART FAILURE CAUSE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GAS TO FLOW ONTO A HOT ENGINE AND IT ALMOST CAUSED THE CAR TO CATCH FIRE. THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE GASOLINE COVERED THE PARKING LOT WHEN I TRIED TO CRANK THE CAR BEFORE I SAW SMOKE. I WAS JUST LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT START A FIRE THAT DAY.*AK
