| Description of the problem | When i fill up with fuel i have a fuel leak coming from top of tank under drivers side back seat where the wires and lines are screwed into top of tank. I have read this seems to be a problem on several of these cars and assume it is a fire hazard especially since the electrical wires are in the pool of fuel on top of tank. When fuel level goes down it stops leaking. |
