Pontiac Aztek Fuel System, Gasoline Storage Safety Report | Nov 26, 2004



Reported on Nov 26, 2004


GAS LEAKING FROM THE AREA NEAR THE FUEL TANK WAS NOTICED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE. PREVIOUS TO THAT THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A APARTMENT PARKING LOT, SO THE GAS LEAK MAY HAVE EXISITED DAYS EARLIER. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR FIRES BECAUSE OF THIS BEFORE IT WAS DETECTED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE FUEL TANK AND SEAL. GAS WAS APPARENTLY LEAKING FROM A SEAM IN THE FUEL TANK. THOUGH SOME 2004 AZTEKS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, MINE WAS APPARENTLY NOT ON THE RECALL LIST.*AK
