| Description of the problem | I began to notice a strong smell of gasoline inside my garage for the past week. Last weekend i was waiting for someone inside my car with the engine running and i felt the strong smell of gasoline. I noticed that the smell decreased somewhat when my gas level went down almost to empty. When i refuel the car the smell got very strong again. I am calling the dealer to make an appointment. |
