The consumer stated that 2002 Saab 93se had a fuel leak. The fuel pump retaining tab was defective. It broke and caused one fuel line to disengage ands spill fuel all over the underside of the car. With the car idling a large pool of gas would gather under the car. The fire department was called for road side assistance. The car was deemed unsafe to start, and was towed to the dealer, who repaired the vehicle under warranty. The owner contacted Saab, and they were contacting the dealer.
