When consumer got into his vehicle, he noticed the smell of gasoline inside of vehicle. Stopped at a mechanic shop and mechanic looked under truck to see if there were any leaks. What he saw was spray of fuel coming from vehicle. After putting vehicle on a lift, mechanic discovered that gas line between tank and the fuel filter was distorted, and went into fuel filter. There were holes there. Gasoline could spread to muffler and tail pipe for potential explosion.
This is the second time this component has failed. Component cracks at attachment to fuel tank allowing fuel to spill out of tank.last component failed only after 17 months.
