GASOLINE LEAKING BELOW PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THIS VAN WAS MODIFIED FOR A WHEELCHAIR AND HAD AN AFTERMARKET FUEL TANK INSTALLED. HONDA DEALER INSPECTED IT, SAID LEAK IS AT TOP OF TANK BUT CANNOT SERVICE DUE TO THE TANK NOT BEING OEM. DEALER SAID THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPORT IT. THE BUILDER IS BRAUN ABILITY. LEAK STARTS WHEN KEY IS TURNED TO ON.
AFTER 1 HR OF HIGHWAY DRIVING TO WARM UP THE ENGINE, SMELLING GASOLINE VAPORS AROUND ENGINE BAY, MIDDLE OF CAR ( UNDERCARRIAGE ) AND VAPORS GETTING INTO CABIN. WHEN YOU POP A HOOD, THE GAS VAPORS REALLY GO INTO YOUR FACE. THE OIL ON DIPSTICK SMELLS LIKE GAS ( AS OPPOSED TO OIL ). I CALLED HONDA AND CREATED A CASE AND TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP WHICH REPRODUCED A PROBLEM. DEALER COULD SMELL GAS FROM HOOD VENTS WHEN CAR WAS STATIONARY AS WELL AS ON TESTDRIVE. AT THIS POINT DEALERSHIP IS WAITING FOR ADVISE FROM HONDA. P.S.THE GAS IS NOT DRIPPING, SO DIAGNOSIS IS HARD BUT RISK OF FIRE IS REAL.
