problem #1

Sep 282009

Montego

  • 38,716 miles
Clip holding fuel filter hose to the fuel filter failed allowing the hose to come loose and leak fuel under pressure. The car had only been driven 4 blocks so the exhaust system was still cool. Had the exhaust system been hot and the failure occurred at high speed a fire would most likely have occurred. The fuel filter had not been changed, as confirmed by my service records, making it the filter installed at the factory.
