While having my oil changed it was pointed out that my fuel line was spraying fuel all over the engine compartment. Very small pin hole but a steady stream of fuel. Upon further investigation found that the injector line was spraying fuel also. I never paid attention before but I can't believe that gm would use plastic for a fuel line anyway maybe this is standard I'm no mechanic but at what gm wants for the parts and then to have them put on maybe I should be. Of course gm is the only place you can buy the fuel parts too imagine that! Well hopefully I'm not the only one having this problem and gm will do something about the defects.
1995 Oldsmobile Aurora fuel system complaints
Page 6 of 7: complaints 131 to 160 of 173, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer noticed that fuel line system was leaking gasoline over the hot engine due to a faulty fuel injection system.
Fuel line and fuel rail failure causing gasoline to be spray onto engine. Fuel rail failure caused larger amounts of gasoline to vaporize into a cloud appearing as steam. Any electrical spark could have caused explosion and fire.
Fuel leak in the fuel line. While at an oil change shop the owner asked me to look under the hood. He showed me gas shooting the fuel line. I was lucky, it could have happened later as I was driving and caused a fire and/or blew up.
Heat shrink fuel injection line between #6-#8 injectors developed a hole and spraying fuel onto intake and ignition wiring. The car smelled of gas inside and the motor was hard to start and backfires some. I've done a temporary repair and have not bought all new rail tubing. This should not be happening at this point. It is too costly for owners to repair for such a small problem.
What the hell is going on with these fuel leaks, and fires and why isn't anything being done about it. I have a 95 aurora, should I even be driving it????????????
The 1995 oldsmobile aurora was parked. After restarted the vehicle, had backfired and the store owner told her that the vehicle caught on fire from underneath. The vehicle was totaled.
The plastic fuel injector rail leaked at the #1 and #3 injectors which caused fuel to spray onto the coil wires and result in a strong fuel odor inside the vehicle, the consumer feels the design is poor and the materials are weak. Nlm
No summary. Dt
There was a small pin hole located in the fuel rail, which caused fuel to leak onto the engine.
The consumer states that the plastic tube between each fuel injector line, and is leaking fuel onto the engine. The dealer was notified. *mr the consumer stated there is no fuel rail but a plastic tube between each fuel injector, inspection revealed a prior leakage in this area which appeared to have been patched, the consumer believes this is a design flaw.
Failure of computer which controls fuel injection. Problem is most noticeable at low speeds, as when approaching other autos at a traffic light or very slow speed driving. When pressure is released from accelerator pedal the fuel controller increases fuel flow for 0.3 to 1.0 second then slowly reduces flow to normal idle speed. Engine speed increases in this process (with transmission shifted into nuetral to observe it) 500 to 1500 RPM. The problem seems to be worse at elevated ambient temperatures. (above 80 degrees, f.) this is a hazardous condition and several times rear-end collisions have been narrowly averted. Communication with oldsmobile's customer service office have been met with rudeness and the plainly stated position that they are not interested in addressing problems with vehicles out of warranty or owned by aftermarket owners.
Fuel rail leaks, olds dealer can not get part from gmc. Dealer saw 3 failures last month.
The fuel rail is composed of plastic sections of tubing connecting the fuel injectors. These sections develop splits allowing fuel to spray all over the engine. This has happened twice in the past year. Both times I replaced the bad sections with rubber hose and clamps. I believe that if this problem is not addressed every one of these cars will develop the problem at some point in time, possibly resulting in catastrophic fires.
Gas leak/fumes from high pressure return fuel line. Vehicle could ingnite at any time without warning.
While driving smelled gas, steam was coming from hood. Pulled over, there was gas all over the top of engine.contacted dealer. Fuel injection system broke and was leaking gas.
Fuel rail assembly plastic hose developed a high pressure fuel leak, spraying gasoline on top of engine.
Consumer states the fuel pump failed while driving at a highway speed of 50 MPH. Dealer and the manufacturer were notified. *jb consumer states that the vehicle stopped with no steering or brakes.
Fuel line is leaking fluid into engine.
The plastic connector of the fuel rail ruptured and gasoline was sprayed on hot engine. This problem should be looked at closely!!! My wife and son were driving the car at the time this occurred...they could have been seriously injured. I think the manufacturer should be held liable.
There was a strong smell of fuel inside of vehicle. Took vehicle to mechanic, and mechanic indicated fuel leaking from fuel rail which was too close to spark plugs, could easily start fire.
The consumer smelled gas inside the vehicle. Then, there was an explosion inside the vehicle and the vehicle was on fire for unknown reason. The consumer was injured.
Plastic fuel line deveploped a pin hole and gas shot out onto hot engine. Has contacted dealer, and had the problem fixed on aug 15 2001. *ak
Nylon (itt automotive) fuel lines developed pin-hole leak which sprays a very fine mist of gasoline into engine compartment. This is very dangerous. There are about 20 other complaints listed on your website - what does it take to get a recall? - or at least some help from gm to pay for the $800 in repairs... Please respond with advice.
Consumer smelled fuel coming from vehicle. Dealership examined vehicle and could not find the problem. Consumer discovered that fuel lines had small holes in them, allowing fuel to leak. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Nylon fuel lines that feed into fuel injectors developed a hole, and were leaking fuel. Local repair shop performed the service on vehicle. *ak
A fuel line under the hood was spraying gasoline. It was not from a fitting. It was spraying from a hole in the plastic fuel line tubbing. For a plastic fuel line to begin spraying gasoline for no apparent reason is bizzare. I feel oldsmobile should be aware of this and should pay for parts and labor for this defect.
Smell of gas was coming into vehicle. Consumer checked under hood and found gas sputting out. Contact dealer.
Fuel rail plastic connector sprung fuel leak; spraying fuel over hot engine; could have caused fire and explosion; lucky it did not. I see there are a number of complaints for this problem, which should never happen. What will manufacturer do for reimbursement of repair expenses?
Fuel lines leak at the fittings, causing fuel to spray over engine. Dealer has replaced fuel lines prior to this incident, and the problem has reoccurred.
