While driving a strong fuel smell was coming through the vents. Took to dealer they said no leak - instead tried to solve the fumes by cleaning AC vents. Drove it home and the fuel smell is still quite strong. Had another person look at it while the car was running after we drove it around the block and removed the engine cover the fuel was dripping from the fuel rail. That is where the fumes were coming from.
2011 Kia Sedona fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The fuel injector rail under the intake manifold has cracked between the first and second injectors (as counting from the serpentine belt side of engine). My wife and I noticed this on september 1st, 2018 because of a strong gas smell after our van was parked. I removed the intake manifold thinking a fuel injector seal had failed but discovered the cracked rail instead. The cracked rail was allowing fuel to puddle on top of the engine and the fuel was boiling off when the van was hot.
Crack in the fuel rail. Profuse leaking of gasoline above the engine when the car is on. Immediate danger of catching fire making it dangerous to drive. Mechanic dumbfounded that the rail pipe is made of plastic and not metal.
