RW> 8^)  Stuff like that never happens on your day off or when you're working   
   RW> around the garage.   
      
   At least it wasn't pouring down road or anything.  It actually was nice   
   outside and the location where she broke down was very scenic.  Right next to   
   a bridge that is a popular fishing and bike trail next to Loch Raven reservoir.   
      
   RW> I've never seen it happen before. That internal line is either wrapped in   
   RW> a coil or waving back and forth. There had to be some stress on it, or   
   RW> there was some kind of corrosion going on. I would have asked for it back   
   RW> and taken a hot knife to the lower tank and found out why it happened.   
      
   What is strange, is I never saw a single leak (externally) before this   
   happened.  All the problems must have been internal.   
      
   RW> Buy a spray can of engine cleaner and spray that where you need to.   
   RW> Follow   
   RW> the instructions, then use a spray nozzle or pressure washer to clean it   
   RW> up.   
      
   They actually cleaned it up pretty good.  There is still some stuff behind the   
   headlights and a few other places.  Much cleaner than when I first saw it   
   after the failure.   
      
   RW> Oh yeah. Wait for it to cool, drive it a few blocks, then shut it down   
   RW> and   
   RW> wait for it to cool again.   
      
   We were out in the middle of nowhere.  It would have taken forever to just get   
   a neighborhood.  I'm glad Pep Boys doesn't charge much for towing.  Only   
   $19.99 to tow it from where it was all the way to the county we live in (about   
   24 miles from where it broke down).
