| Description of the problem | Problem: car leaks fuel to the ground near the rear exhaust part of the car when gas tank filled past 3/4 full of a tank. Car leaks fuel, and smells excessively like gasoline inside, and outside of the car. This could be a potential health risk due to the fumes of the gasoline, and gasoline leaking. The problem could be a safety issue due to gasoline potentially leaking on the exhaust, and igniting. The car also will not pass emissions due to evaporation leak check engine codes. This happens every time a gas fill up more than 3/4 of a tank of fuel. I have pictures of the fuel leak. |
