It rained in Milwaukee this morning. I noticed a rainbow effect on the water on my driveway and after driving a couple blocks noticed the strong smell of liquid diesel in the car. I skipped my first meeting and drove directly to the dealer. My car remains at the dealer as they await a replacement fuel filter assembly to arrive to make it "safe to drive" again. I'm told this is the first reported fuel filter assembly failure in the U.S. - lucky me. Thought I'd share my story for the edification of the group.

Sorry about your trouble.
Please post more details as you get them. Cracked canister? Faulty seal? Broken fuel inlet/outlet pipe? Maybe you could ask to see the faulty part?
