Well, as some of you know i went with the BBK SSI intake for my 93 mustang. Its a very unique intake and really matches my vehicle color scheme well.

When i first got it and took it the car to MPW to have it all put together, Mike had mentioned how these intakes fuel rails leaked. He had faith that there had been a revision and that there shouldn't be a problem. ......

One of my friends had mentioned my car smelled like fuel when it left MPW.

Aprox 1.5 months later my ride went into Nicks for some more goodies (blower etc) Nicks been hard at work making the car look kick ass.

Now though, my intake is now off. Why? Fuel leak from the fuel rail press fittings. The exact issue MPW warned me about

This is sooo dangerous and if a another shop has already experienced this problem, and now i have the problem, others are surely having issues. This is so dangerous and could burn your car down.

Ive contacted BBK today with a thorough email expressing my deep concern in regards to the safety of their product. (customerservice [at] bbkperformance.com ). I hope to hear back from them early Monday with them telling me they can overnight some new fuel rails to me!

Anyhow, heres some quick pics so you know where to look when you hear what you think is a fuel injector leak

is there nothing that can be used??? teflon tape, putty/paste etc? or is it a fitting that can't be sealed like that?


either way.. thats not cool... that it leaks... cause that stuff isn't cheap... you expect more from a company like BBK...


good luck with it all..!

I ve seen it with my own eyes, it is fixable at a price but in my opinion
it is a BBK problem and should be dealt with by BBK.

Well, thats just it. You pay a fair amount of money for a product and its defective. Shouldn't be my problem.

Lets wait and see what BBK says.

I know that when these came out there was a lot of skeptical people, BBK isnt exactly the first name that comes to mind when I think of quality pony parts. I think that they should come good with this or if it ever caused an accident or car caught on fire, that could be a class action lawsuit... so they best improve and come good for it.

Yea, time will tell. I will keep everyone updated. Ive sent off the email and i will be calling them tomorrow

Well, i called BBK Performance this morning (951-296-1771) and spoke to Doug.

Doug was pretty nice, listened to my story and had put in question shop install error. Now i had told him 2 shops had worked on the car, problem still exists and the first shop warned me of the issue. Again, he questioned the install. Doug was friendly, not rude and in all fairness, he wasn't there when it was installed.

Doug stated that they may need the parts back, im not sure what that means. Complete intake or just the fuel rails, he didn't say. He said he needed to look over the proof of purchase and my other email.

I of course mentioned that i was reading on the net how there are some issues with this intake. Doug let me know he does not surf online forums and is not familiar with any including stangnet (i find that hard to believe Doug..you're prolly reading this now )

So, now we shall see what happens. I hope they go the distance to resolve this. Ive sent them documented pictures and everything they need.

Hey there, i imagine this is Doug. You guys are quick

Just an update to the community, i had spoken with Doug and it seems things are going to be handled. O-rings are being shipped out and should be at Nicks Automotive (hopefully by tomorrow) so i can get this thing off the hoist.

From where we are at now, issue with the intake is "installer error". Thats with me having all the facts. Be it the first shop didn't read the instructions or didn't do it right, i don't know.
Point is, at this stage its shop error. Car didn't burn or catch on fire, so its not the end of the world.

Anyhow, thumbs up for BBK. So far the customer service has been A+, you cant go wrong. Besides, the intake is sexy

I will keep everyone updated on this until the car leaves the shop :nice:
