FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS WHEN EXITING VEHICLE AFTER USE. A FEW DAYS LATER SAW GAS COMING FROM FRONT TANK FILLER. CHECKED CAP WAS ON PROPERLY. THEN I NOTICED THAN FUEL CONTINUED TO SPILL REGARDLESS OF TRUCK RUNNING OR NOT. DOES NOT DO IT EVERY TIME. GAS DISAPPEARS FROM REAR TANK. I SUSPECT GAS IS BEING PUMPED FROM REAR TANK TO FRONT TANK UNTIL IT OVER FLOWS. ONE FAMILY TRUCK, BOUGHT NEW BY MY SON IN LAW I HAVE HAD IT AROUND 3 YEARS. 110,000 ACTUAL MILEAGE. OLD BUT LOW MILEAGE. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. COULDN,T FIND ANY RECALLS PAST 1999.
