Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of Buick Riviera

While driving I noticed a smell of gas. I stopped & was at a truck stop. I checked under the gas tank vehicle & spotted no gas dripping from the tank. Then I went around to front of the vehicle & saw no gas leaking. Then several days later, I drove to fresno, parked the car & told my daughter that I smelled gas. I opened the hood, removed the engine cover & fuel was spraying from the plastic fuel line, the size of a pinhole. I placed some tape on it & drove it home. I contacted the dealer & ordered a new fuel line. I will be taking into the Buick dealership for repair. There are no recalls listed on this???? a dangerous situation. I went into various auto forums on the internet & noticed that several other people were having the same problem. A pinhole leak in the plastic fuel line. This being on the 1995 - 1999 Buick Riviera's ( 3. 8 l ) v6.

Consumer keeps a close eye on gas gauge. When consumer got out it was on a 1/4 tank, when she got back in and started it up, it jumped to 3/4 tank. Several days later, gas gaufe was on 1/4 tank and it jumped to full. Consumer took vehicle to GMC dealer, and service man showed a memo that indicated same problem because it was not a recall they were not entitled to fix it at their cost. Problem was not fixed by dealer, it still exists. When traveling and guage reached 1/4 tank instead of continuing toward empty it moves back toward full.
