Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problems of the 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan

1997 Dodge Grand Caravan. Started vehicle and let idle while in parking lot. Engine appeared to form vapor lock and stalled. Tried restarting. No effect. Smelled fuel. Looked outside and found very large fuel spill on side of vehicle. Evacuated vehicle and called 911 in case of fire. Fd reported separation of fuel line from fuel tank. Vehicle towed to repair facility. Awaiting parts and repair info.

I am writing in response to an article in the st. Paul pioneer press page 9a dated 4/20/99. It is about the NHTSA investigation of daimlerchysler gm and gas tanks leaking. In December of 1998 I experienced a similar situation. As I was driving the gas line apparently became disconnected from the tank and all the gas drained out of my van. This happened as I was driving down a highway. By the time I got to my destination a full tank of gas had drained out of my car. This was the third time we reported fuel leakage to the dealer. I am very interested in knowing if this is a problem with the Dodge minivans.
