Consumer Description

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPILL OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE CONTROL VALVE FOR THE EVAP HAD FAILED AND WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. I THINK WE HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM, WE MOVED THE VENT LINE OVER ABOUT 2", DRILLED A HOLE IN GAS TANK THEN GLUED THE VENT LINE IN HOLE. SORRY TO HAVE BOTHERED YOU! TW UPDATED 10/12/2011 *LN *TR
