Clogged fuel tank vent. As the fuel is removed air must enter the tank or it will collapse. Can be nothing more than a defective fuel cap.

Why does the gas tank in your 03 caravan collapse?

The gas tank in a 2003 Dodge Caravan may collapse due to a combination of factors, including a failure of the structural integrity due to age and wear, exposure to road debris, or a malfunctioning fuel pump that creates a vacuum within the tank. Additionally, if the fuel tank venting system becomes clogged or malfunctioning, it can prevent proper air circulation, leading to a vacuum that causes the tank to collapse. Regular inspections and maintenance can help prevent such issues.

Why does air come out the gas tank?

Air comes out of the gas tank due to the need for ventilation and pressure regulation within the fuel system. When fuel is drawn from the tank, it creates a vacuum that must be balanced by allowing air to enter, preventing a collapse of the tank and ensuring proper fuel flow. Additionally, when filling a tank, air is displaced by the incoming fuel, which can also lead to air escaping from the filler neck. Proper venting is crucial for the efficient operation of the fuel system.
