Purchased vehicle used a year ago, after 1 fuel fill up service engine light came on and smelled fuel strongly in the back. Noticed raw fuel leaking onto the left rear tire& wheel well. Took to dealer for tests, they found leaks from ldp to the tank at a rubber elbow with a raw fuel leak at the connection between the filler neck and rollover valve. Told we need fuel tank replaced to fix the problem costing more than $700!

My 1996 plymouth grand voyager mini-van 3.3 liter v6 2 wheel drive broke down. Apparently in the transport, loading, or unloading of the vehicle on my trailer, one of the muffler mounts became disconnected and the other muffler mount the bolt into the frame was pulled out. This caused the muffler and exhause to shift. I did not notice this prior to operation of the vehicle after performing the initial repairs that caused the breakdown (water pump / serpentine belt failures). The shift of the muffler caused my fuel line and gas tank to melt and devoloped leaks. The level in the gas tank was low enough that no gas was leaking; however, the fuel line was spraying gasoline on the underside of the vehicle and on the hot muffler. I consider myself fortunate that I did not have a fire in the event. I have yet to repair either of these leaks, and I intent to take photos prior to repairs. I did have to move the muffler to find the leaks, and that is the only work I have done at this time and I will not be driving the vehicle until the leaks are repaired. This could be applicable to other grand voyagers that pass over a large objects that could strike the muffler (I.e rocks, curbs, etc.)

This van has had the fuel rail leak recall done to it however it has now developed a leak under their fix. Their fix does not work - I have fuel running out over the top of the engine, valve cover and onto the exhaust. I found this on the recall web site: the fuel injection delivery system can leak fuel from some of the sealing o-rings or from hair line cracks in the thermostat fuel injection rail. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. 1,163,000 vehicles are affected by this recall. Dealers will install a seal on the vehicle fuel rails to prevent external leakage of fuel from the fuel rail crossover tube, should the existing o-rings continue to degrade. Their fix does not work, I took great detailed pictures to show your engineers. I just dropped off the van to get fixed, however their recall fix does not work. I am going to demand that they replace everything.
