Description of the problem	I had my 2004 hyundai sante fe at the dealer's for the smell of gasoline in the vehicle and when walking behind the car. It was told there was a small leak in the gas tank due to rust. The vehicle is not 9. 5 years old has approximately 82,000 miles on it - have regular service done on the vehicle. I have undercarriage of car washed after snow storms as i live in new england and know the salt from the roads can rust the car. I was quoted a price of $1,500 or more - "can't tell until we start taking things apart how much job will be". This evening went to go to the store for milk car started right up drove down hill and car started to buck and stopped. Thank god for aaa - called for a tow and the tow truck driver attempted to start car - car starts but then stalls said there may be an air bubble in fuel line - could this have happened when dealer's service department checked for the leak. (i do not have the money to replace a gas tank when i don't know exactly how much the cost will be). Has anyone else had this problem. The service person informed me my car was "old" i don't think 9. 5 years with 81,000 miles a gas tank should rust???????? Especially when the car is taken care of.
