| I have had to purchase at least 3 gas fuel pumps for my 94 dodge dakota for three years in a row. i've taken it to the dodge dealer each time an it seems to be the same problem every time. i only use one gas station when i'm not traveling and just in my neighborhood . i have used the same type of gas 1993 premium and gas station amoco since ownership of the vehicle. the dealer has been very helpful and has not charged me this time for the work. but they can't seem to find out why i'm having this problem with the vehicle. how can i find out if there is some other defective part that might be causing the problem, or find out if there is a defect with the gas fuel pumps for that vehicle. i couldn't find anything on your site.*ak | |||
