I was heading to the country on a 2-hour drive and the weather was hot above 80 degrees. So I guess you can say the engine was also very hot. I also had the ac going which is a good description of the environment at the time of failure. I was on a narrow country paved road traveling about 25 mph. I know this speed to be true because I was in a development where the speed limit is low and I always travel slow in the development. There was a parked car on the side of the road and I had to move slightly off the paved part of the road onto a slight decline unpaved part of the road then when I passed the vehicle turned back onto the paved surface. In effect at on time the drivers side 2 wheels were on the decline unpaved road. When I turned back onto the road the car stalled and it was hard to steer but this was not a concern because I was going slowly. I tried to restart which any body would do and then began to smell a strong gasoline odor. I pop opened the hood but did not see any wrong but did notice what appeared to be gasoline on the floor under the engine. With the hood opened I tried to start the car again and now saw gasoline all over the hot engine. After quickly wiping the gas from the engine I found the fuel line had separated and I was not surprised since this was a snap together part that sits on top of the engine.
