Fuel Injection Rail Problems of Dodge Ram 1500

1998 Dodge 1500 fuel line break its the crossover line between the fuel rails on the 5. 2 ltr engine a small rubber line. Because I drove my truck 3 miles to a car wash to wash lawnmower on trailer didn't wash truck didn't smell gas started truck to get gas at station drove it 1 block to station turned truck off and at that moment I herd a whoomping noise and then white smoke and flames came out from under the hood on the passenger side between the windshield and the hood big flames then black smoke I had barley had enough time to unhook trailer ran to drivers side black smoke was coming out of the cab put truck in neutral and pushed it away from gas pumps then called 911. From the time I got to the gas pumps and the fire department put the fire out was 15 min and it completely gutted the cab and engine compartment. The fuel rail crossover line is the only way that I figured the fire started on the passenger side because the fuel and return fuel line is on the drivers side. I'm afraid if this would of happened driving down the road with passengers somebody could if gotten seriously hurt .

The contact owns a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. While stopped at an intersection, the contact smelled a strong smell of gasoline coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was driven to his destination. Upon further investigation, he noticed a small hole in the fuel rail crossover tube. Gasoline was leaking down both sides of the fuel rail onto the motor next to the intake manifold. The contact feels that a fire could have occurred because fuel was leaking onto the hot engine. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop and inspected by a technician, who determined that the fuel fail needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired at the cost of $611. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that no compensation would be provided because the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The failure mileage was 135,000 and current mileage was 135,100. Updated 06/12/09 updated 06/16/jb.

I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500. I noticed a strong gas smell and found that the plastics fuel rail was spraying gas onto the intact manifold. This was located on the drivers side by the firewall. I took it to the dealer and I was told that the part was superseded by a new design and it would take a week to get the parts.
