i ran into this problem a few weeks ago when the temps started to fall.   all
new fuel lines, replaced a few yrs ago.   clamps were all loose, and fuel was
leaking out of the fittings.  if i had not caught this (i back my van out of
a garage - i saw a fuel trail on the pavement) then i would have had an engine
fire..
