I have a fuel leak underneath from the top of fuel tank. I believe it is coming from the fuel pump. Leaks when engine is running only. Does not leak when auto is not running.
Factory fuel pump is cracked, wright on the connection to the fuel line ,its a hair line crack,.
Have fuel smell at back middle of van, found fuel leaking at middle of fuel tank, replaced fuel line connected to fuel pump output connector. Did not stop fuel leak, found cracked fuel pump at the output area. Leaks as long as the high pressure side of fuel pump is pressurized.
Turned vehicle on, vehicle would not turn over at first, like it wasn't catching. Upon second try to turn over engine it did finally turned over and vehicle was running. That's when I noticed a strong smell of gas on the driver's back passenger side. Inspected undercarriage and noticed what appeared to be fuel had run down tank and was slowly dribbling. There was a small puddle of fuel on ground directly where dribble was. The family was on the way home from being out of town and we decided that we would drive it home before dealing with issue. Once vehicle was brought home I pulled fuel pump out of gas tank and noticed small hair line cracks. They appeared to look like dirt or dust had just settled into a "seam" of where the two parts of the plastic/material met, but was in fact a hair line crack. The fuel pump was leaking. The new fuel pump has currently been ordered and I will replace it first thing in the morning. The mileage on the van is at around 137,000 miles. This just seems to be pretty important as it's leaking fuel which is a potential fire hazard.
The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while parked, he noticed a strong gasoline fuel smell. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The technician stated that the fuel pump housing was fractured and leaking fuel onto the exhaust system. The fuel pump was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 158,275.
Fuel pump developed hairline cracks allowing fuel to seep from fuel tank onto the outside of the tank and onto the ground below the vehicle. The resulting buildup of fumes and leaked fuel poses a great risk of injury or death to occupants of the vehicle as well as damage to any property near the vehicle if combustion did occur.
