Hello this is my first post...

Before I take my van in to the shop this next week...I wanted to hear some of your inputs regarding with two major issues we are having with our family caravan

Model: 2003 Caravan SXT


Problem #1: There is some sort of a liquid leak between the drivers and passengers seat....the carpet is always wet.....We didnt notice the problem during the winter months....now it is summer so am wondering if having the air conditioning on is what causing this...

Problem #2: It seems like we can only get up to 6-7 gallons of gas before the pump stops. Im not sure if it is a tank problem or if the gas meter is inaccurate. We've driven enough for the gas light to come on, then when we attempt to fill up the tank, we can only put in 6 or 7 gallons before the pump shuts off.


many thanks

Lloyd

 

water leak is probably the a/c is not draining. find a rubber hose hanging out from under passenger side and make sure it's not plugged

fuel. i have read a lot of the same problem on these vans. seems that how you shove the nozzle in, how far and what angle can make a difference. try auto filling with one less notch so you are not dumping the fuel in at NASCAR speed.

 

My van seems to do it more when its -10C and windy outside. I found by easing back on the fuel flow helps.

 

fuel issue is addressed by TSB 14-001-09. Water in the passenger floor addressed by TSB 24-001-06.
