On Monday I posted a severe gas consumption problem. Last night it was still light out when I got home so I did some investigating. I looked under the car and saw no apparent spills on the ground. I checked the oil level and it was at the full line where it normally is. Now I was really at a loss as to where all this fuel was going. (8 gal in about 6 miles) There is no way the engine could consume that. I started the car and took a look. Holy sh..... ! The line going from the end of the fuel rail to the fuel pressure relief valve had a hole in it and was spraying against the valve cover. I drove it 6 miles like this. It is amazing that it didn't catch fire. I am feeling pretty lucky at this point. A word of advice to all. If you don't carry a fire extinguisher, it ain't a bad idea. At the very least carry a flashlight (if you travel in darkness) so you can investigate abnormal situations. I feel fortunate that lady luck was with me.
