| Description of the problem | After filling car with gas there is a strong gasoline smell coming from the car. Goes away after driving and some of the gas is used out of the tank. Cannot find any gas leaking on the ground around the vehicle and i do not 'top off' the tank. I am no longer parking the car in the garage as i am concerned about an explosion as there is a gas water heater in the garage. Somewhere in the system this gas is leaking.... And it's not coming out on the ground!!! Scary |
