| Description of the problem | When filling the fuel tank, there is a smell of fuel when parked in the garage until 40 or 50 miles is put on the car. After that the fuel smell goes away. It happens only when i fill the fuel tank. I do not top the tank off. I only fill until the nozzle shuts off. One time after fillup i drove 2 miles and parked in a friends driveway that had a steeper angle and the car leaked some fuel out on the ground and the check engine light came on. I have not brought the car in for repair yet. |
