Description of the problem	I smell fuel inside and outside the car after filling the tank. I smell this more in cooler months than warmer months. I've been smelling fuel for over 2 years now but didn't think much of it. I have recently had an engine light come on and did some research. The fault points to the fuel system. I'm wagering that when i remove the back seat, i'm going to find evidence of a fuel leak like many others online have found. The car has not been in any recorded accidents that i'm aware of. It's used premium fuel since i've owned the car at 50,000 miles. I now have over 163,000. I also take additional interest in the fuel issue now that i have a child in the back seat that has also commented about the smell.
