Description of the problem	I was smelling gas from my 2007 mkx. I checked under the car for leaks and didn't see any. Most times the smell was strong after filling it, so i thought there may have been a little spill-off near the cap and didn't think anything more of it. A few days before 7/1/2014 the gas smell was really strong both outside and inside the car after just filling it up. On 7/1, i was still smelling gas and took the car over to my mechanic. He advised he was seeing an issue at the top of the tank but needed to drop the tank to be sure. He released the truck back to me advising me to drive the gas down to almost "e". When i got home later that day, i started doing research on-line and found many mkx/edge owners with the same complaints regarding the fuel tank. I called lincoln and they opened a case #. I took my truck back to the mechanic on 7/8 and he advised me that the sealing ring was crushed. He explained it was from corrosion due to the ethanol and it was very common. He ordered the parts and told me the truck would be ready on the 7/9. Today, 7/9 my mechanic called me to get the ok to fill the tank. He called me back shortly to let me know he found a bigger problem. He advised when he filled the tank, he found the fuel leaking from the seam on the left side of the tank. He advised this was not common. He also advised he looked up the tank's part # and found there was a revision/update to the part but it did not state what it was. He advised me to get on the phone with lincoln and have them come out to take a look at the tank. I spoke with lincoln relations and they told me they don't do that. I'm very upset with lincoln. Based on other customer complaints, this has been an on-going issues that lincoln/ford has turned a blind eye to. Something needs to be done.
