“(1) always smelled gasoline after driving car for a while. A couple of repair places could not find a problem. I finally figured out myself where the leak was in the engine and pointed it out to a repair man. (2) this repair man told me it definitely was leaking and if I let it go any longer there would certainly be an engine fire. When I questioned him about other occurrences of this problem, he said that he had seen this happen more often on Chrysler's than any other car. (3) he replaced the fuel pressure regulator, as well as the fuel dampner assembly with fuel rail. …”
