Description of the problem	I purchased my nissan frontier from a nissan dealer "as is" which was fine til the first time i filled it up. The smell of gas made me pull over right away. Couldn't find or see a leak but sure could smell it. Shortly after check engine light goes on. Had a mechanic look at it to find fuel is leaking from the top of the fuel tank. I see i'm not the only person to complain about it. Hopefully someone will investigate before someone gets hurt. I'm on s. S. D. I can not afford this problem that should be recalled. Tried to locate a new tank for the truck. Can't find one. I can't see putting a recycled defect in. Anyone with the same problem needs to call the nhtsa so we can get the recall started. Now nissan changed the tank and added access panel behind the back seat on newer models. So i don't fill my truck and it still smells of gas but not as bad. Hopefully help is around the corner.
