| Description of the problem | After getting out of my vehicle, i noticed a strong smell of fuel coming from the rear bottom of my vehicle. There is a large leak somewhere in the fuel system. This now occurs every time i get near the vehicle but is strongest after the vehicle has been driven. It now also smells like fuel in the vehicle once the vehicle is stopped. It is not so noticeable when driving and the ac is on. The smell is so strong that i think it would ignite if somebody walks by with a cigarette. The car is now parked until i am able to fix it. Too dangerous to drive. |
