RE: [DML] Re: Start, Die, No Start

["Video Bob" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a gofy thing happen once, the car would start, sputter and die.I 
noticed I could smell gas really bad so I pulled off the boot to the fuel 
pump and the friggin hose had COME OFF ans was just sitting there sucking 
the gas that was pooling in the boot!
I reconnected it as tight as I could and everything has been fine since.
Just thought I would mention it.....
