Description of the problem	every time i filled up on gas i would smell gas inside the cabin. I then proceeded to investigate into why i was smelling gas. I looked between the tire and the fender on the car on the driver side and noticed that there was a wet spot on top of the plastic under cover guard. At that point i took out the back seat and opened the access panel on the driver side and it was at that point i noticed fuel leaking. I then opened the passenger side and noticed the same thing, fuel leaking. Now that i know why i was smelling fuel i replaced the seals on both sides hoping that was going to fix the problem. I then went to the gas station filled up again to see if replacing the gaskets did the job. When i got home i opened both panels and noticed that i was still leaking fuel. As i looked hard at the pumps, sensor and leveler i noticed that the plastic electrical connecters that were molded to the top of the lids was no good and seeping out fuel. At that point i replaced both sides. I spent roughly around $550. 00. I know it i had the dealer do it, it would have been double that. For a vehicle only being 5 years old it should not have these kind of problem with it. I am glad that i have mechanic skills to do things like this.
