Could smell strong odor of gas while idling inside cab of car. Checked under hood and found that both ends of fuel rail are leaking. End nearest fuel injection system is dripping rapidly onto motor. Parts store does not carry this part and its not able to be repaired. I just bought this car from a dealership a month ago. :(

The fuel rail feeding the fuel injection leaks at the crimp on the line. This caused a major fuel leak on under the intake manifold. I saw by searching the web site that several others have complained of the same problem. I had to have the entire fuel rail replaced at a cost of $650.48. This should have been a recall due to propensity for fire hazard. When I was inspecting the leak I got sprayed in the face and eyes with gasoline painfully.

91 chrysler fifth avenue - leaking joint in oem fuel rail. I believe the original design was to be able to rotate front and back rails to align injectors during assembly. This joint is sealed at factory with no replacement parts available, except for the whole fuel rail. Leaking fuel lay on top motor and could be very hazardous if ignited.
