The fuel tank leaks at the fill neck when you fill car past 3/4 full. It leaks both when driving and when parked. The fuel leaks down the frame and exhaust pipe to the ground. In 2001-2002 dodge hire a different (cheaper) company to make their fuel tanks. As a result they leak at tank where filler neck attaches. Dodge's correction was to put a hatch for fuel tank replacement on the r/t models but not on the gts models. It is a known issue (on every car forum i found) without a recall. I wish this to be recalled before a fire happens. *tr
