2022 Porsche 911 Fuel System Problems

Metallic Fuel line located on top of the engine suddenly started leaking. Previous time I drove the car there was no indication of a gasoline leak or odor. There were no warnings or indications of an impending leak until gasoline was emitted from the line. Fortunately when the leak started I was only driving locally and upon returning to my house a raw gasoline odor was apparent at the back of the car. Had I been driving up to Monterey which is a 6 hr. drive I’ve done several times before a gasoline leak over the engine would of likely caused a fire that would have been extremely hazardous. The car was towed into the dealer as it was not even safe for a 5 mile drive. The dealer reported they are seeing many cars with the safe defect. Also this issue has been reported on [XXX] a Porsche enthusiast car forum. [XXX] The dealer corrected the problem and the manufactured is aware. Fortunately for me it occurred before the warranty expires in a few months otherwise the repair cost would of been $12,000 as they must drop the entire engine to access and replace this line.

String gas odor while driving. Upon inspection it was determined that a fuel line was leaking on top of the engine which requires an engine out repair. There are several other people discussing the same issue of Rennlist.com a Porsche enthusiast site. Seems to be a problem.

A leak in a high pressure fuel line was releasing gas on top of the motor. I smelled gas, and had vehicle towed to the dealership where I purchased the car. The dealership has confirmed the cause of the fuel leak and ordered the replacement fuel line. Since it’s a leak in this fuel line, NO check engine lights or other warnings flagged the problem. In my opinion, this is a significant safety problem that could lead to a fire and potential injury.

Massive fuel leak. Appears to be fairly common amongst other owners. Required engine out to repair.
