Filed Oct 31, 2022 · Fuel system · NY

Rear Section of the rear fuel line started to rott out and started leaking. The sction is where there is insulation on the line, adjacent to the Left rear tire. The rest of the line is good with no corrosion or rust. When the car is running and stopped a puddle forms under the car that is gasoline. I noticed it about a week ago , I smelled gas and thought the engine was the source, but later determined it was the fuel line as I could see the leak. It is by the rear plastic fuel line holder / support. The vehicle is always parked on a concrete driveway or paved street. Never on grass or dirt.

Fuel line rotting. Dripping gas towards rear of car. When I did my research this is very common with the Chevy cars. Like the HHR cavaliers and cobalts. Using a cheap metal then wrapping it in a heat shield that cause moisture to stay trapped causing the lines to rot.

My 2006 hhr fuel line broke at the rear wheel on the left side of the vehicle. The fuel line has a bend at this location and that is where the break occurred. Gas was spraying out when the car was running. This occurred in 2019. I have since replaces the fuel lines with nylon fuel lines.

On 11-01-2015, while driving the car, a fuel line began to spray gasoline. The leak appeared toward the rear tire on the driver's side. The leak was noticed because the fuel caught fire. The fuel must have been sprayed onto a hot part. The on-fire fuel landed on the pavement where it continued to burn until manually extinguished with a fire extinguisher. Turning off the engine stopped the spraying, but fuel continued to drip from the area for some time. The repairing mechanic told me that the line was rusted and had a hole. He said that part of the line sits in a pocket where it stays wet and dirt/salt accumulate. He found a fuel vapor line also was heavily rusted. The lines were replaced at a cost of 588.31. I'm reporting this now because of the recent announcement of an investigation of some model years for this problem. My year was not on the list, but the lines rusted. Thank you for taking time to read this report. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like additional details or if I may clarify any item.

Fuel lines leading between the fuel pump and engine have rusted severely and have caused a puncture fuel line which leaks fuel.
