I am writing in response to an article in the St.paul pioneer press page 9A dated 4/20/99. It is about the NHTSA investigation of daimlerchysler GM and gas tanks leaking. In December of 1998 I experienced a similar situation. As I was driving the gas line apparently became disconnected from the tank and all the gas drained out of my van. This happened as I was driving down a highway. By the time I got to my destination a full tank of gas had drained out of my car. This was the third time we reported fuel leakage to the dealer. I am very interested in knowing if this is a problem with the Dodge minivans.
