Wife detected a gas smell from the rear of her van. She let it go due to the recent fill up. I noticed a puddle under my wife's van and investigated the source of the puddle. I determined that the liquid was gas and it was streaming from around the inlet fuel valve and the fuel tank. I looked up the repair procedure on line and came across a recall for this issue on my particular van. (recall id# 07V349000) come to find out this recall was segregated to three mos. In 2002.(June-August) my particular date of assembly is Oct. 2002, in turn does not qualify for the recall. However reflects the same issue.

Fuel tank has developed a leak.

- Southgate, MI, USA

I noticed a strong smell of gasoline after filling the tank. There was a large puddle of gas under the vehicle with fuel dripping from the gas tank near the filler neck. Upon investigation it was determined that the fuel was leaking from a crack in the gas tank at the seam above the point where the filler neck connects on the side of the tank. This could have been disastrous if the vehicle had been parked in the garage which has an open flame space heater. The vehicle is out of warranty due to mileage 52,000 miles. I am trying to find a used tank to replace the defective one. The GM dealer service manager stated that there were no recalls or service bulletins for this failure.
