Owner report 733846 · 2000-10-09 (October 9, 2000)
RECENTLY MY M/V STARTED LEAKING FUEL FROM A FUEL LINE. I THOUGH THAT THE LEAK WAS DUE TO AGE AND TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC FOR REPAIR. AFTER HE LOOKED AT THE FUEL LINE HE INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS CUT BY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LINE RUBBING AGAINST IT. I FEEL THAT IF THIS IS A DEFECT IT'S A FIRE DANGER TO OCCUPANTS OF THE M/V AND PUBLIC AT LARGE
