| Description of the problem | First noticed when car was parked, once i pulled into the driveway. I got out and smelled a really strong gasoline odor. It doesn't appear to be leaking gas on the ground. The gasoline odor was stronger when the gas tank was full. Once the tank got down to 1/2 - 3/4 full the odor was less prominent. Now i never fill my tank to full because the smell is overwhelming. There aren't any indicator lights that come on. |
