Ram 1500 Laramie SLT 5.2L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,000 miles

Line connecting two fuel rails burst, spraying fuel onto hot engine and exhaust. Luckily the whole truck didn't get torched. This is a very dangerous situation. Where the line burst, there is no rubbing/friction/contact with any other parts. There is no explanation for failure other than substandard material for fuel line.
