“The clip that hold the fuel line under the engine I don't belive is strong enough to complete its task. I have heard many incidents in where owner of the 94- present camaros have had fires under the hood of there car because this plastic clip breaks and the fuel line then comes incontact with the valve covers which burns a hole in the fuel line and caused a fire under the hood. I belive this a safety hazard and should be fixed. Thanks”
