Fuel System, Gasoline › Delivery › Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings

Filed Jan 19, 1999TX

TWO SEPARATE FUEL LINE LEAKS, RESULTING IN RAW GASOLINE LEAKING ONTO ENGINE ABOVE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WERE DETECTED BY NOTICING FUEL SMELL AT IDLE. IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH FELLOW BMW 7-SERIES OWNERS ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS SERIES CAR (E32). FUEL HOSES GET HARD AND NO LONGER SEAL AGAINST THE METAL FUEL LINES, CAUSING LEAKS UNDER PRESSURE. I REVIEWED YOUR INCIDENT DATABASE AND FOUND REFERENCES TO 3 ENGINE FIRES THAT MIGHT BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE FUEL LEAKS. THERE SHOULD BE A GOVERNMENT MANDATED RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE AFFECTED FUEL LINES. SINCERELY, DR. MITCHELL LOESCHER.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
