Description of the problem	I smelled gas recently when opening and getting into my 2004 santa fe. I took it to a car repair shop. They inspected it and found rust holes in the gas tank which gas was leaking out of! I can't imagine the how terrible an event could have occurred if the leaking gas had exploded when i started the car or been close to an open flame with the car when it was leaking. I have owned many cars in my life and have never had a fuel tank rust out. I think the nhtsa needs to take a very close look at this problem and possibly issue a recall on the gas tanks of santa fes and other vehicles they manufacture that use the same gas tank.
