Description of the problem | I started my car and noticed a gasoline smell. Drivers side door was open. While the car was still running i stepped around to check the exhaust and noticed liquid pouring from underneath my car on the drivers side near the rear wheel. I realized this was gasoline coming from somewhere near the gas tank. It only poured out when it the cars ignition was in the the 2nd position and running - meaning while the fuel system was under pressure. Having it towed at great expense to carmax. I could have died had i not seen this huge leak!!! |
