Leaking fuel line just ahead of gas tank. Is this common on HHRs?

The reason they rust out is because of an insulated heat shield that "protects" the fuel line from the exhaust heat. This holds moisture in and snow and salt in the colder states. It also lets the leaking fuel drip straight down and away from the exhaust pipe. Remove the barrier and it won't rust but could cause a vapor lock. Best way to fix it is to use a fuel line that won't rust out.

There is an open case on the at the U.S. Nation Highway Transportation Safety Administration. Really easy to file a complaint with NHTSA. More owners should do this to improve the the chance of them doing something. Also, save your receipts. In case they ever take action, you could get a refund.
