Fuel leak by model year
What owners say
Exhaust manifold bolts broke and studs remained in manifold. Exhaust leaked in engine bay. Was told by nissan dealer that possible affixiation could result from running the AC and the exhaust leak created by the broken bolts. There was a quest there with the same problem. Had quest fixed elsewhere. When doing oil change a month later, another quest with same problem. Was told by nissan mechanic and my mechanic that this is extremely common in the van. There should be a recall done on the exhaust leak. According to the nissan dealer, the emmisions could be non odorous and may not be detected by smell. I feel this is equally or even more dangerous thena the fuel vent problem because this is invisible. At least you could smell the gas leak and see the gas on the ground.
Exhaust manifold is leaking fuel.
Fuel leaking from fuel filler vent line, puddling under van, strong gas fumes, worried about fire hazard. Vent hose has cracks throughout. We are going to contact the dealer's service department on 6/30/00.
Defective fuel filler tube or internal fuel parts caused a gas raw smell and a gas leak, which might have caused a fire if there was a source of ignition.
Van was leaking gas from a hose that rubed/shaved against the fuel tank
Fuel line leaks fuel onto the engine block, beneath the intake plenum. When engine is running, visible drips occur (about 1 drop per 1 or 2 seconds).

- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: minivans. The fuel tank vent hose allows air to vent from the fuel tank during refueling. Cracks have developed in the vent hose. If (1) the fuel tank is overfilled, not allowing excess fuel in the vent hose to flow back into the tank, (2) the vehicle is driven only a short distance after refueling and, (3) there is subsequently significant heating of the fuel tank, the fuel in the tank can expand into the vent hose and leak fuel.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the vent hose.
