Bonneville

  • miles
Was driving and smelled strong gasoline odor the longer driven. Luckily not on highway, was able to stop and investigate, saw dripping line onto engine block. Proceeded to local dealer a few blocks away. (sullivan Pontiac) they replaced the line. Said this is why Bonneville's mostly have fires. I was lucky wasn't on highway, and pulled over when I did, ,could have caused fire/explosion destroying my auto, others and caused injury or death to myself and / or others. Leak was in location protected by shroud. How did leak occur" defective fuel line? dealer did not save the defective line for later examination. Paid $299.85 for labor, $40 for shipping new fuel line, and $87.57 for the new fuel line= $427.42. Worried about is this safe for others!" nlm
