Fuel system, gasoline: fuel injection systemReported September 13, 2000 · 1,163,000 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Vehicle description: mini vans built with 3.3l and 3.8l engines have fuel rails with nitrole rubber o-ring seals that can degrade over time. Fuel leakage from the underhood fuel injection fuel rail could result, increasing the likelihood of a vehicle fire.
Risk: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Remedy: 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. Owner notification began on january 25, 2002. Due to the large quantity of vehicles involved in this campaign, the owner notification will be phased over the next several months. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.

No one was hurt in the accident when I hit a piece of metal in the road. The object tore off a body frame member and then punctured the plastic fuel tank. Gas was leaking everywhere. I can not believe that anyone would place a plastic fuel tank directly in the path of a front wheel drive vehicle. The front wheels being drive wheels tend to propel objects back at the tanks. Conversations with mechanics have informed me that over time the tank will eventually start to leak from the stones that will be thrown back from the fromt wheel. I recentlly read in the local paper where a ford minivan with a plastic fuel tank devloped a lead while traveling on a local road and had to be towed. It is even ore amazing to me that these systems that are designed to fail and will impact the environment in a negative way are legal. If the car markers are going to use plastic fuel tanks they should not be located in a direct path behind a wheel and they should have a metal shield.
