Gasoline tank started leaking due to stress crack failure. No indication of mechanical wear at the failure point, appears to be a failure of the plastic.

Started smelling strong gas fumes. Had checked and found gas tank was cracked on top and running down both sides very close to exhaust pipes. Fire hazard. Had to have gas tank and fuel pump replaced at my expense. Seems to me a gas tank should last longer than 7 years or be a factory defect.

I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 pick-up. I recently noticed a strong odor of gasoline. When I filled up my gas tank, I discovered that fuel was leaking from the tank. Further investigation revealed the leak appears to be coming from near the top of the tank. I can't see the source of the leak because of the frame. I contacted daimler-Chrysler and they were no help since the vehicle is out of warranty. Since the leak is near the exhaust piping, I am concerned about the possibility of fire. The truck had never been driven off-road, only on streets and highways. I have an appointment next week with a repair facility to examine the cause of the leak.

Dodge said their is a problem with the gas tank but would not repair it and the same goes with the air conditioning, they said there is a problem with the air system and I have researched this with several owners and mechanics but they again will not fix this.

Fuel gauge isn't working, and when the consumer fills tank up, gauge indicates the wrong amount of gas. It shows that tank is only half full. Consumer can't determine how many miles per gallon of gas they are driving.

Fuel level according to gauge drops to below empty after 50 to 100 miles. Fuel light comes on when tank is 80% full. Have talked to several owners of like trucks that have the same problem.
