Leaking fuel rail - our 1996 Volvo 960, which was bought new and serviced regularly by Volvo mechanics, developed a bad fuel odor inside the cabin, and, when I opened the hood, it was apparent that it had a serious gasoline leak, which was mode worse when the engine was hot. I tried to find the leak, but couldn't find any fuel lines leaking. We took it to our local Volvo mechanic, and he said it was the fuel rail, and said that it was quite common on that model. I asked him if it was dangerous, and he looked at me like I was a complete dummy! we had the fuel rail replaced, at great expense, of course, but I couldn't have my family at risk daily in the car. There appears not to be a recall, but I am having one of the local personal injury attorneys look into the situation. Surely there is a bulletin out on this dangerous situation!
