Back in Feb 2019 my LandRover suddenly leaked a large amount of gasoline and then broke down. It stopped running and needed the fuel rail & line replaced & stabilizer bar and bushings & subsequencely complete engine replacement. I also had fluid in the engine and wrecked the engine requiring us to replace the engine.

THE PETROL FLANGE/FUEL FILTER DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE TOP CAUSING FUEL TO SPRAY OUT THE TOP OF THE TANK WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE TANK IS UNDER THE VEHICLE NEXT TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, SO THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE. THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL SMELL AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT NO FUEL DRIPPING WHEN PARKED. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN INTERNET SEARCH WHICH TURNED UP SEVERAL OTHER INSTANCES OF THE SAME PROBLEM INCLUDING A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE SHOWING THE SAME ISSUE. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED AN INVESTIGATION ON THE ISSUE: NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE20018. I REPLACED THE FILTER MYSELF AND WILL KEEP THE OLD ONE IN CASE IT IS NEEDED FOR THE INVESTIGATION. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

SMELLED FUEL SMELL IN THE GARAGE BUT NEVER ANY DRIPS IN THE GARAGE. AFTER INVESTIGATION, FUEL IS LEAKING FROM TOP OF TANK AND BLOWING BACK OF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, PART OF WHICH IS THE TAIL PIPE. LEAK IS COMING FROM INLINE FILTER AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. COMMON PROBLEM, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FUEL. I COULD ALWAYS SMELL GAS BUT COULD SEE NOTHING DRIPPING. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE JUST DIED. THE GAS MONITOR SAID I HAD 50 MILES TO GO BEFORE NEEDING FUEL. I GOT IT TOWED IN AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING. THIS WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAD NO WARNING AND WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OF 70MPH WHEN IT JUST DIED ON A BRIDGE. THEY TOW COST ME ALMOST $300 TO GET IT TO SHOP. THE NEXT DAY THEY TOLD ME THE GOOD NEWS IS I JUST RAN OUT OF GAS, AND THE BAD NEWS IS I HAVE A LEAK AROUND FUEL PUMP WHICH CAUSED IT TO GIVE A FALSE READING OF HOW MUCH FUEL I REALLY HAD. AS STRONG AS THE FUMES WERE IT'S A WONDER IT NEVER CAUGHT FIRE. THIS COST OVER $800 TO FIX. THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAD IS WHEN THE FUEL INJECTORS FAILED, AND I NEEDED A TOW TRUCK AGAIN. THE CAR GAVE A WARNING SAYING 'RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE' THE FAILURE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS CAUSED GAS TO LEAK AS WELL, AND THE SHOP HAD TO OPEN ALL IT DOORS AND WINDOWS. THIS TIME THE LEAKING FUEL WAS VISIBLE. TH...
