1996 Seville Fuel injection hose leak under plenum
My 1996 Seville recently developed a pin hole leak on the fuel injection hose that runs under the manifold plenum. I temporarily sealed it off with a piece of rubber and a small hose clamp. But, obviously the entire hose needs to be replaced. The hose appears to be plastic that was factory installed. Does anyone have any experience replacing this hose? Thanks for any advice.

There is no fuel hose under plenum. Does car have black plastic or silver metal fuel rail going to injectors?

Black plastic fuel rails were recalled due to leaking problems, also might want to just get an Fuel injection O-ring kit and replace them, its cheap and easy.

regardless of the difficulty get it done .. an explosion there, should it happen, will likely star a fire in the engine compartment.
predictions of when such events can happen are not predicable. . |
To find out if recalls applies to your car contact local dealer with VIN and they will be able to tell you if they need to be done. Recalls are free provided it applies to your car.

Dealership handled the recall replacement fast and efficiently.

Another fuel leak on the plastic line
My 1996 STS has suffered another fuel line leak...plastic fuel line coming up from the subframe to the fuel rail bolted to the engine. This time the leak is right where the transmission cable rubs up against the plastic fuel line. What are the replacement options? A repair kit? Or a complete replacement fuel line?
