Typical fuel system symptoms owners report

Fuel line fittings or clamps near the back of the engine on the driver's side leak fuel steadily, sometimes forming a puddle under the vehicle.
Fuel gauge readings jump erratically between empty and full within seconds, which owners tie to a faulty fuel level sensor.
Owners report catalytic converter failures that trigger a check engine light and a P0420 code, sometimes after replacing an oxygen sensor.
Some drivers experienced stalling or loss of power along with P0090 and P0087 codes, traced to a failing high pressure fuel pump.
A few owners describe a fuel odor under the hood combined with the accelerator failing to respond, linked to a possible fuel rail sensor failure.
One owner reported the fuel tank draining much faster than expected, getting far fewer miles per tank than normal.
