| FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE - STORAGE - TANK ASSEMBLY - FILLER PIPE AND CAP | |||

| The cap over then end of the 5/16 inch diameter tube for draining the fuel tank deteriorated to the point that gas was leaking from the tube when the fuel tank was full. the rubber on the cap was cracked and mushy. this not only allowed the fuel to leak out, but also allowed water to rust the fuel line that was under the drain cap. other rubber components in the fuel system appear to be in good condition. therefore, i suspect that this drain cap is manufactured from inferior rubber. the dealer said the manufacurer does not have this cap in their parts system so i had to be creative in blocking the drain pipe. i have retained the old cap if you would desire to inspect it. according to the shop manual that i purchased, all 1988 chrysler cars have a similar drain cap on the fuel tank. the leak from the drain tube was big enough to leave a 10 inch wide puddle of gasoline on my garage floor. my concerns are not only with fire safety, but also with the environmental impact. you may want to forward this concern with your friends in the epa. thank you. *ak | |||
