Pontiac Montana Fuel System, Gasoline Storage Safety Report | June 20, 2007
Reported on June 20, 2007
| WE FIRST NOTICED FUEL SMELL IN THE GARAGE. FOUND A SMALL PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM A CRACK AROUND THE FUEL TANK INLET. I WAS NOT ABLE AT THAT TIME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN, SO I REPAIRED WITH SOME EPOXY PUTTY. THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS BUT THEN IT BEGAN LEAKING AGAIN. THIS TIME I WENT ONLINE TO LOOK FOR REPLACEMENT FUEL TANKS. I FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT IT STATES THAT FOR THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE MANUFACTURE DATE IS JUNE THRU AUG 2002. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 11/2001. *JB | |
