1992 Dodge Caravan Fuel system Problems

“While filling the fuel tank, a fire erupted due to the fumes coming from the tank, possibly from static electricity. The next day I took the van in to my local Dodge distributor to check out the integrity of the fuel tank ( no damage was visible, even to the paint) and they suggested I let them install a ground strap on fuel filler neck of the fuel tank. I agreed, and asked why something like that was not already in place, but did not receive a satisfactory answer. I would like to check for recalls on Dodge caravans for ground straps on the fuel filler neck.”

“On 6/26/2003, the consumer was charged $40 to repair a recall. The dealer stated the charge was necessary because it was a handicapped vehicle, the gas tank was moved up, which caused more work to repair the recall. Recall# 02v274000 subject: fuel tank control valve weld. The consumer requested a call back.”

“Fuel leaking at center fuel rail, seals are non replaceable. The fuel rail cross over tube was leaking fuel on to the center of the engine. The consumer quit driving for fear of possible fire. The consumer's investigation indicated that the 3.3 ls for 1996-2000 had a recall for exact same part failured and the 1992 3.3 ls should be included in the recall.”

“Fuel injector started leaking. The left fuel rail seal, which meets the crossover joint to connect the left and right rails, went bad and started leaking without warning. Also, 3 local dealers had the part on back order, and a new modified piece will be issued in june by the manufacturing company. This can cause a fire .”

“The fuel rails that join together are leaking fluid from the connection point. The u shape rail at both connecting ends is where leak is happening. Took vehicle to dealership & was informed by mechanic the parts needed to be ordered & would notify consumer when they are in for repairs.”
