Upon approaching the 1996 Cadillac Deville it was noted that a fluid was dripping from behind the left front wheel. Inspection revealed that the leak was gasoline - opening the hood found no leaks. Car was started in order to relocate it in the drive way, within a minute of starting there was a strong blast of vaporized gasoline spraying on the driveway. Car was immediately shutoff. Further inspection showed there was a leak from the plastic fuel line under the floor at a location under the driver's seat. The plastic fuel line is mounted parallel the body and it is about 9 inches outboard of the catalytic converter. This was the first time that day that the car was started. The car was towed to the Cadillac dealer where it was repaired by installing a new fuel harness - part number 25644121 at a cost of $608 to me. Any design that uses plastic (nylon) fuel lines placed so close to the hottest part of the car is just plain irresponsible !.

Injector ( plastic) gas lines were spraying vaporized gas over the engine. Why this didn't ignite is beyond belief! our certified Cadillac mechanic said that most cars have metal gas lines not plastic. The plastic hoses are molded into the fuel injection system so when they crack with age, they have to replace the whole system not just the plastic lines. How would anyone know that this is a problem - only because the fumes became more intense did I take it in. I had been driving the car with passengers for three weeks prior and the car could catch on fire and possibly exploded. It has approximately 79,000 miles on the odometer.

Leaks occurred on the plastic lines surrounding the top of the motor. (fire concerning the fuel lines).
