Description of the problem	Topped the gas tank with gasoline on 11/02/14, only to find the smell of gasoline inside the vehicle. Later that same day my wife and kid noticed the smell as well and that made it a concern for me to find the problem. After a sniff test, i located a strong gasoline smell emitting from under the rear driver side seat. I detached the rear seat cushion and the cover plate that conceals the fuel sender unit. When i removed the cover plate, gasoline was sitting atop of the fuel sender unit and around the gas tank- fuel sender connection area. At this time the smell of gasoline was very strong and with the electrical wires that feed power to the fuel pressure sensor which sits atop/connected to the fuel sender unit makes for a very explosive situation. After drying the gasoline, i noticed a large number of small hair line cracks all around the top of the fuel sender unit. In the process of pricing fuel sender unit for replacement.
