DRIVER ALERTED TO A PROBLEM BY HONKING OF OTHER DRIVERS, AND TOLD GASOLINE WAS STREAMING FROM THE TANK AREA. DROVE HOME, FOUND THAT THE FUEL AND BRAKE LINES HAD BEEN MOUNTED ONE ABOVE THE OTHER (RIGID VS. MOVING PARTS) AND THE BRAKE LINE SUPPORT BRACKET HAD ABRADED BOTH FUEL LINES, AND ONE OF THEM COMPLETELY THROUGH TO THE INSIDE. LUCKILY NO SPARK FROM THE FRICTION OCCURRED OR I WOULD NOT BE SENDING THIS REPORT. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY. I WILL WAIT FOR A FEW DAYS FOR YOUR INSTRUCTIONS, BUT I WILL HAVE TO GET IT REPAIRED TO GET TO WORK. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP.
