19990119FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
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.
