Yeah, certainly spoke a little soon. I thought people'd get the idea after 4 pages of that being refuted, but I guess not.

Whoa sorry, didn't mean to steal your thunder

You didn't specifically address the fuel sprinkler though. Maybe the welds held up fine, but when the sprinkler turned on that's what started the fire.

d3r3k, just go to your dealer and ask about it, maybe they have your address wrong or something... or you bought your car used, I don't know. Either way just go to or call the local dealership and they'll schedule you in to get all current recalls done.

It depends how deep they look for the source of failure. IMO it's very likely the fuel line modification. I have no idea why they didn't drill & tap the existing line or do it right and purchase an aftermarket rail. Also if there was a gauge installed I'm willing to bet it was a cheap gauge made in China that could have had a leaky bourdon tube or a cheap pressure transducer/sender. There's no way you should cut corners when you are modding the fuel supply.
