1995 Cadillac Seville Fuel system Problems

“After driving the car for approximately six months, I began to detect a faint odor of gasoline which seemed to be coming from under the hood. I kept detecting this odor off and on for the next few months. Then one day I was surprised and confused to see my gas gauge moving steadily toward empty as I drove along. I thought the gauge was broken, but it was not. Instead, in about two miles, I had jettisoned an entire tank of gasoline as I drove. The problem turned out to be a ruptured plastic line leading to one of the fuel injectors. …”

“Dt: the contact stated on 8-26-05 when he woke up and there was a strong smell of gas in the car. He saw gas profusely leaking from the gas tank . He did not see a hole. The gas was leaking from around the seal of the gas tank. He has not hit anything to cause the leak. The vehicle has not yet been towed to a service dealer, but the contact planned to do so today.”

“While driving there was a gas odor inside the cabin of the vehicle. The consumer took the vehicle to a mechanic, who determined that there was a crack inner tubing which caused a leak. There was 2 gallons of gas underneath the engine cover. Recall 04v11000 was issued on this problem, but the vehicle identification number was not included in the recall.”

“Recall campaign 04v110000/fuel rail tubing: the consumer received this recall notice, and the dealer wanted to charge him for replacing the spark plug wiring during the recall repairs.”

“During an inspection it was discovered that fuel tank and line rusted, mechanic stated that this was a safety issue. The fuel tank was plastic, and the gas line was metal.”
