1998 Chrysler Town And Country fuel system problems

Engine spontaneously started on fire and fire destroyed the entire vehicle. Owner just purchased the vehicle 1 week prior to this occurring from a dealership. All of a sudden, there was smoke everywhere while driving on the interstate, and within 3-4 minutes of pulling to the side of the road due to smoke occurring, the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. The owner is 9 months pregnant, and there were 3 young children also in the vehicle when this occurred.

I own a 1998 chrysler town & country LX. Corrosion of fuel filler tube caused a fuel leak and the filler tube had to be replaced. Fortunately there was no fire or injury. I was told by my mechanic and the auto salvage firms I contacted that this is a common issue with these minivans.
