HHR

  • 107,000 miles
Gas lines exiting the fuel tank run through a flexible heat shield as they run past the left rear wheel to the bottom of the car (prior to running up to the engine). The fuel lines in the flexible heat shield have significant run and have started to leak fuel. This fuel pools under the car when stationary and sprays onto the exhaust system while in transit. This was not a sudden event, the rust has occurred over time, however is not detectable during routine inspection due to the heat shield. This incident was noticed due to the gas fumes which collected in the car during a start-up. There was no other indication until the fumes were investigated.
