Consumer complained about fuel rail splitting and creating a fuel leak. This caused fuel to spill all over and around the engine, which could have caused a fire. Consumer stated that this problem was repaired, but there was a product safety bulletin on this. He did not know whether or not this was a recall.
Smelled gasoline strong in cabin and in engine compartment. No visible signs of gas until took off top cover. Found fuel rail leaking and squirting raw gasoline onto hot engine from the plastic fuel line between injectors. Quite fortunate that no fire or explosion occured. Saw recall on this site for fuel rail regarding 97 cad deville but dealership refused to fix saying not on recall...but it is at the federal safety agency site. This needs to be included in the recall of any other models with this fuel rail system. This is a very dangerous situation with pressurized gasoline being blown right on engine!! We are concerned that others might have this same problem and it could result in an explosion or fire.
Very strong gasoline smell everytime time you get out of the car or just walk by the car. No gas on ground leakage of gasoline will certainly start a fire independent garage found the filler pipe corroded and leaking. *ak garage replaced filler pipe. Old pipe not available

Pin hole sized fuel leak from plastic fuel hose on fuel rail
My car smelled like gas when I got ot work, 7 miles from home, and when I got it to the shop they found that it had a fuel rail leak. There was another sts in the shop with the same problem and the vince whibbs dealership in pensacola said that they had two of them in the last 6 months. I think that this is a very serious problem and it should be looked into. I was very lucky that my car did not catch on fire. I contacked gm and talked to heather lewis, case number 1-156497228 and was told that they would look into this and call be back on november 3, between three and five p.m. She never call me back.

Fuel was leaking because the fuel injectors ruptured. Dealer notified. *ak the consumer filled the gas tank and reset the computerized gauge to 0 miles per gallon and 0 gallons used, and had driven approximately one mile. The next day after driving two miles to the store, he noticed liquid pouring out from the front of the engine. *scc. The fuel rail assembly line failed.
While driving, the consumer smelled a strong gas odor. Upon inspection, the consumer noticed gas all over the vehicle's underbody. The dealer diagnosed the problem as a ruptured fuel rail.
Fuel tank sensor causes an incorrect indication of the level of fuel left in the fuel tank. When the tank is approximately half full, the sensor becomes erratic and shows various fuel levels. I would consider this a safety issue because of the incorrect levels of fuel remaining in the tank being incorrectly displayed. A driver could think that there is a full tank left but run out of gas in a busy traffic area as one example.
The last three years, the gas guage in the veh. Registers approximately 4 gal, a while latter its back up to full, and goes up and down, you get about 10 gallons of gas the guage shows full, and then you drive a while the guage goes down to 8 gal. This is constant. We have reported this problem to a cadillac dealler here in nc and they keeps telling us there is nothing wrong with the gas tank. I have taken this car for this problem three time and they keep telling me there is nothing wrong. My wife contacted massey cadillac where we leased it from, and they informed us that, all 1997 cadillac deville gas tanks were recalled for that kind of problem. I told this to the cadillac dealer here in nc and they informe us it is not so. It is a problem, we have to stop and fuel this veh, many time on a trip because we don't know how much gas there is in the tank. I would like your assistance on this matter, it is driving us nuts. No one want to do a thing about it. I want to thank you for your assistance in this matter john.
My gas gauge when register 4/5 gal it goes up to full, and slowly comes down, and goes back up. We fill the car with only five gal knowing is has only 3/6 gal the gage shows full, and as you drive it goes up and down from 2 gal to full back and forth. We were told that there was a recal on all 1997 cadillac deville gas tank because of that paticular problem, we have taken this veh to gm dealer and they say they is nothing wrong with the gas tank, if there was a recal we would like to know the file number and the dates of the recall.
I was travelling at 80 MPH in the far left lane when the vehicle lost power- the gas indicator indicated that I had 5 gallons of gas left and could go 110 + miles. Yet when I finally got the car to the side of the road and tried to start it again, it indicated empty. This is the fourth time this has happened. Dealer says he can't find anything wrong.
