What owners wrote
Vehicles fuel tank had just been filled, after approximately ten (10) miles the vehicle began to exhibit a low power situation and then began to stall at idle, such as stopping at a stop sign or stop light. Vehicle was limped approximately two (2) miles to owners residence where it was allowed to sit for approximately forty-five (45) minutes inside a closed garage. Upon returning to the garage a strong odor of fuel was present.
Pulled into parking lot and car stalled. Tried restarting and passerby shouted to stop reporting fuel gushing out from under car. Had car towed and fire department clean up fuel. Had this happened on the highway car could have caught fire. Parts saved. Problem resulted from cracked connector on fuel tank sending unit. This resulted in the fuel line separating from the fuel tank so that the fuel pump was forcing fuel out and it was spreading all over the underside of the car.
