| Description of the problem | Gas fumes leaking above gas tank gasket, and going into car from under rear view seats, this is a emissions matter and safety matter, its not healthy for people to breath gas fumes every time they pump gas. Also to the matter, i am a certified smog technician and this is a fail smog inspection due to leaking gas fumes.
