Subject:scary fuel leak

Hi Volks,

Everyone has probably heard this before, but please CHECK YOUR FUEL
LINE CLAMPS FOR LEAKS routinely after changing lines and installing
list recommended clamps. I had a bad leak (understatement) yesterday
that could easily have resulted in fire. There was at least one major
leak along the right side fuel rail. The air filter assy was blocking
the view so I couldn't really see from where (prob rail to
injector(s).

I changed lines and clamps last May and have had no problems with
leaks until yesterday. I agree stainless clamps that don't cut the
lines are really the way to go, but mine loosened over time. HAVE
YOURS?

regards,

Fred
