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. :( *TR

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…

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.

1991 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER FIFTH AVENUE V6 3.3L. I INCURRED 2 FUEL LEAKS FROM THE FUEL INTAKE FUEL RAIL. EACH OCCURRED AT BOTH 'U' JOINTS. THE FUEL IS LEAKING DIRECTLY INTO THE ENGINE. MY RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES THAT A GREAT NUMBER OF CHRYSLERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. OBVIOUSLY SIMULTANEOUS FUEL LEAKS INTO AN ENGINE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PLEASE HAVE THESE…
