I was driving down the interstate today and I kept smelling gas. I thought I was running incredibly rich . It kept getting stronger and stronger and stronger. Then it got real bad so I pull over. I opened the hood with the car still running. Gas was all over the engine,the fuel return line completly loose. I turned the car off, wiped the mess up, chilled for about ten minutes (for complete evaporation), tigtened the clamp and was on my way. Pretty close,right?

 

Close call. whew.



Man you got lucky, glad it worked out in the end.

 

I was actually waiting for that exact response.

 

Man you got worked, glad it lucked out in the end.

 

any idea of how it just loosed? now you've got me scared.

 

I've had this happen before.... except it didn't turn out so pretty.



the whole car went up in flames within 5 minutes.

 

That's why I have my trusty fire extinguisher in the passenger side footwell. Hopefully I'll never need it.

 

good to hear it didn't turn out worse than loosing a bit of fuel.

 

Man, glad you were able to work on it, and that you didn't fry your end.

 

man your glad it worked out? lucky, it could of been the end!
