| Description of the problem | After filling the gas tack - i started smelling fuel in the garage. I didn't see a gas leak on the floor but the smell of fuel was very strong. This happened multiple times over the course of the next month. It would go away after 2-3 gallons of fuel were burnt off. I believe there is a defect in the gas tank assembly as i found many other e55 owners with similar issues. |
