06 Dodge Caravan (fmi handicap conversion)- issue spewing gasoline: >filled up approx 9am Aug 4th 2011 > parked at residence > 2pm preparng to go out-of-town > heard humming from left rear > noticed gas cap appear "cross-threaded" & was "hissing" > me in a electric wheelchiar, parked facing cap > my son turned cap > gas spewed out like a fire hydrant point blank in my face > gas did not just spray, it spewed out over a half a tank, spewing it 18-20 feet, lasting about a minute. > Dodge mfg srv ctr said (troy), "not sure what caused it, we think it was a closed selinoid purge valve cause mech blew in it & couldn't get no air through it" > I said "you think?!" > he (troy) stated. . . "all we can say is, go fill it up, drive it around, & see if it does it again" > no error code nor did the "check engine" light ever come on. . . It should have! note: I'm a 42yo completely disabled [muscular dystrophy-no movement in legs/arms/body], I'm in a electric wheelchair. . . I have no choice but to use the van, but no one has given me a certain diagnosis, no one knows what could cause the gas to build so much pressure. The cap can't be "cross-threaded", there was so much pressure it in the process of blowing up. . . . Thank god it didn't! please help?.
