Hairline cracks in fuel pump outlet just before connecting to fuel line leads to strong fuel smell and fuel vapors all around vehicle. Fuel pump needs replacement to repair this dangerous condition. Highly suggest different fuel pump design that is not prone to hairline cracks and potential fire hazard as fuel leak is about one foot away from a hot muffler and a tossed cigarette or other spark could cause a fire or explosion.

Been alot of people with the same problem with 04 Dodge grandcare vans sxt and others models also. . . . . . Thanks.
The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan. While driving 45 mph, the temperature gauge on the instrument panel started going to the red side; indicating that the vehicle was having trouble regulating the engine cooling system. The contact also stated that there was a strong odor of fuel entering the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump and carbon filter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
My van left small fuel marks in driveway, I investigated it physically and found fuel to be leaking by fuel pump housing near a fuel line, I assumed it was leaking from the o-rings on quick disconnect line. I replaced o-rings and the problem still exists. I googled the issue and to my surprise there are many similar issues, people explaining how their vehicles where leaking in the same location. After browsing I found a website where there was a picture showing fractures on the housing near the fuel line that I had worked on. Sure enough I rechecked my vehicle and there were the fractures. Leaking fuel. I just wanted to post this on this website to inform other owners, that if they smell fuel from their van, they should get this issue checked ASAP. This is a real hazard, and could be really dangerous.
Fuel leak from fuel tank at the fuel pump very close to the exhaust!!!!.
