[alfa] Re: 164 fuel leaks and fire hazard & Maintenance

[Jeff Matson <jsm8@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just another note and bit of data to suggest that those with older 164s 
check your fuel system carefully from tank to engine.  I know it's sheer 
coincidence that this happened simultaneous to the Digest discussions, 
but my '91 164 developed a fuel leak under the car this weekend (I've 
had the fuel rail ones before, too).  Turns out one of the hard fuel 
lines had rusted through at a bend where it comes down from between the 
gas tank and body.  Fortunately there's nothing hot in the area, as this 
was really dripping a lot of gas.  The moral is that it's not always 
just the rubber lines that need checking as the car ages.
