Four times in the past three years, vehicle has stopped during operation. Had it towed to shop, was told internal fuel line had popped off. This last time, was sold a new hose and new clamps that were supposed to solve the problem. It happened again on july 10, leaving my wife and I stranded in a very dangerous situation.
