Four problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vent valve is cracked on fuel tank. Dealer let me know that it is such a common problem that they have no tanks available and they are back ordered. Seems they should have a system in place to replace just the valve not the whole tank. With gas leaking out the vent valve there is concern for a fire.
The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. While refueling the vehicle, fuel spewed from the filler neck even though the fuel tank level was not full. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the fuel tank was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 27,000.
The fuel tank on this truck leaks, the tank and the parts on it seem to be faulty, there are cracks were the fill tube is and tank is cracked, I beleave the tanks on these trucks are a fire and loss of life issue,, it looks as the materals the tanks are made with arnt ment to be used for a gas tank, to me its poor materal and desing of a gas tank, when I took it to the dealer to trouble shoot my problem, they wouldnt even put what the problem was on the service ticket, they tolb me I need a new gas tank, as a retired NJ state certified fire fighter, I see this a real life safety issue,.
While truck was parked and secured, a fire started in the wire harness above the gas tank. Fire was contained before vehicle became engulfed. Fire department and police department reports made. Insurance company investigated. Determined wire harness overheated and ignited gas vapor leaking from plastic fuel system lines. Due to use of plastic materials, fire spread rapidly, including the top of the fuel tank melting. Truck has been repaired.
