| Description of the problem | Whenever i fill up my gas tank, i get a very strong gas odor in the car. Its very strong in the back seat and around the rear driver wheel on the outside. It goes away once my tank gets to 3/4 full approximately. My kids are in the backseat in their car seats, inhaling these fumes. Now my wife is pregnant, and she inhales these fumes too. The dealer wants to charge an arm and a leg. I need help. |
