| Description of the problem | While driving a strong fuel smell was coming through the vents. Took to dealer they said no leak - instead tried to solve the fumes by cleaning ac vents. Drove it home and the fuel smell is still quite strong. Had another person look at it while the car was running after we drove it around the block and removed the engine cover the fuel was dripping from the fuel rail. That is where the fumes were coming from. |
