| Description of the problem | There is a very strong fuel odor coming from rear left passenger tire area when tank gets completely with gas. I noticed the smell after leaving the gas station and bringing the car home to park it in my garage. The gas smell is so strong, it leaks into the house (via attached garage). Initially i assumed that i must have just spilled a little gas while pumping it. However, the second time i went to fill the car up the same exact thing happened. To date we have no remedy for this problem. Again, this has happened twice so far. |
