Description of the problem	When i fill the gas tank with fuel ( 91 octane gas), there is a strong odor of said gasoline. When i park it in my closed garage, the smell is strong enough that i'm afraid a spark from the water heater, or even the electric motor that opens the garage could trigger an explosion. Simply opening the door that leads from the garage to the house, fills much of the in house area with the smell of gasoline. Driving is also a concern, due to the fact that i don't know where the gas is leaking from, (other than somewhere on the gas tank) or if it could drip on a hot part or come in contact with an electrical component. Once the fuel tank is below 2/3, the odor drops significantly. Note: i had this same problem when the car was one year old and, after 5 tries by the dealer, was finally diagnosed and fixed under warranty.
