| Description of the problem | Fuel/gas tank leaking after filling up the tank. Car smell of gas and pool of gas observed on the floor of the garage. I have to backed up the car on the street to avoid possible fire on my property. This is the second incidence... The first incident was a week ago, the car smells of gas and i brought the car to my mechanic and he can't find any leak in the fuel system nor on the fuel tank, the gas tank was half empty at that time. After filling up the tank on 4/10/13, that is when i've noticed that the gas is leaking (pool of gas on the floor) from the fuel tank after parking in car at home. |
