| Description of the problem | Fuel leaks out of the evap canister and onto rear passenger wheel fender liner under heavy driving and cornering. This leakage is also the source of very strong fuel fumes inside the cabin of the car. The evap canister is located ~6" upwind of the exhaust and has been seen to be the source of fires! I attach photos of fuel staining around the evap canister on my car. I have personally seen 2 nissan gt-rs catch fire due to this situation, & have photos (not attached). |
