| Description of the problem | After fueling up completely, there was a strong raw gasoline smell in my garage. It was coming from the rear driver's side wheel well. This is the opposite side of where the fuel fill cap is! There were no visible puddles on my floor, but it smelled as if there should be. The problem went away for a little bit, however, it does this now every time i fill up the car and it is hot outside. |
