Consumer Description

WHEN PARKING AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF, I GET OUT AND WALK TOWARD REAR OF THE VAN, I CAN SMELL GAS BUT I CAN NOT FIND ANY GAS LEAKING ON THE GROUND AND THE GAS CAP IS ON TIGHT. I HAD A FRIEND TELL ME THAT THEY HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM ON THEIR DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND THEY HAD TO DROP THE GAS TANK AND FOUND A LEAK ON TOP OF THE TANK. IT IS A STRONG ODOR AND I AM AFRAID A SMOKER TOSSING A BUTT NEAR THE VAN MIGHT CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. THIS IS AN E85 FUEL ENGINE BUT THAT IS HARD TO FIND SO I USE UNLEADED REGULAR. I HAVE NOT HAD CHANCE TO GET THIS IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND REPAIRED. JUST CHECKING ON RECALL POSSIBILITIES FIRST. *TR
