Campaigns 98v184000 and 98v130000 concern fuel leakage on the 1993 eagle vision. On may 13, 1999 the o rings were replaced on my eagle by the previous owner. On march 31, 2000, after purchasing the car I had to take my care in to a garage due to the strong smell of gasoline. The repair shop found a gas leak. They replaced the fuel rail gasket which cost a total of $214.02. I believe the cause of this problem was caused by the leakage of the o rings. The replacement of the fuel rail gasket should be covered under campaign no. 98v130000. I am requesting reimbursement for the $214.02. Also, I would like to know if there is anything alse I should do to make the car safer such as having the engine fuel rail replaced, which it appears wasn't done when the o rings were replaced by the previous owner.

- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the fuel rail o-rings and reinforce the outlet (passenger) side fuel rail. Vehicles showing fuel leakage on the outlet fuel rail must have the outlet rail replaced which includes changing the upper and lower injector o-rings. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings or from a cracked fuel line, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible.
