61 problems related to tank assembly have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Gas tank cracked resulting in smell of gasoline.
Fuel tank warped. Mjs.
Fuel tank collapsed. Mjs.
The gas tank imploded, causing the tank to hold 13 gallons instead of 20.
Gas tank failed.
Despite several dealership "fixes" gas tank shifts and thumps when accelerating or stopping sharply. All electric door locks had to be replaced due to electrical "vibration"-type noises when activating. Rear brakes have "hummed" when lightly braking since new. Problem evolved into surging. Needed a complete brake job at 40,000 miles due, I believe, to lack of dealership fix before hand.
Can smell fumes inside of vehicle after putting fuel into the tank. If the tank was full, the fuel would leak out. Took to dealer & mechanic could not locate cause of the leakage. Has happened at least 8 times & problem not solved. Took it back again & mechanic informed owner the entire fuel tank assembly needed to be replaced.
The problem with the gas tank is that when I fill the tank up gas starts spilling on the ground. It is leaking from the top of the tank next to the cab of the van. I know there was a fuel pump gasket or some other kind of recall about the tanks on 96 vans and I think it is the same problem. Can you check into this please. I asked the local dealer to check the VIN number for recalls and the fuel tank problem was not for my van. Can you check into this problem and see if there should be a recall for my van also?. Thanks.
The fuel tank on this van leaks when tank is full or close to full. I have noticed that fuel will drip from the top of the tank when parked and a strong odor when stopping after driving. I have been told that Dodge has had recalls on this, also consumer reports issue Jan 2000 has listed a recall on this problem. I contacted Chrysler/Plymouth and they are unaware of any recall for this problem.
If the recall for the fuel leak was suppose to begin in September 1999, why it is that this is January 2000 and still no recall on my vehicle. Talked to my Chrysler dealer today and they said that they haven't heard anything about this recall. Thank you for your time.

Fuel tank has developed a leak around the seams. Dealer replaced the fuel tank. Please give any further details.
Consumer states fuel can be smelled inside the vehicle, the service department stated that some fuel pumps allow the fumes to gather under the body cavity and enter the vehicle through the heating and cooling system, consumer feels this is a bad design as well as a safety issue.

I smell gas leak every time I fill ep up full tank for last several months. In the morning, the gas smell is particularly strong and I look around. I found gas is dripping down to the ground from the fuel tank. This is a 96 van with only 29000 miles on it. I like to find that if it's problem reported by the manufacturer.
