Consumer noticed gas leaking from vehicle. Took vehicle to dealer who replaced canister and vent solenoid assembly. This was second time this problem was repaired. Consumer states that vehicle had a trunk leak.

3 Emission Control problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2001

My Taurus leaks fuel after filling the tank. The dealer replaced the rollover valve, vapor canister and evaporator solenoid and a hose clip on March 1, 01. In October 2001 I again noticed fuel dripping from the tank area after refuelling. The dealer is ordering a new tank. Ford tech hotline says there may be another defective rollover valve inside the tank. This poses a safety hazard which I believe should be reported.
