| Description of the problem | The car has fuel (gasoline) vapors inside and outside of the car. The fuel sending unit or the fuel pump in the saddle gas tank under the back seats leaks gasoline and the smell makes me sick. I am afraid the car will explode if the vapor is present at the combustible ratio of gasoline to air. |
