problem #1

May 232007

9-3 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 87,000 miles
2000 Saab 9-3 fuel line disconnected at the tank on the pressurized side of the fuel pump due to a broken plastic tab which hods the fuel line in place ( a terriable design) allowing the fuel pum do discharge the fuel directly on top of the gas tank at the maximum discharge rate of the fuel pump... I.e. gallons per minute were being pumped out the top of the tank resulting in an extremely dangerous sitituation.
