Description of the problem | There is a strong gas smell especially on hot days and there seems to be excessive pressure in the gas tank. I have scoured the vehicle for leaks and can not find any. I have replaced both rubber hoses from the filler neck to the tank and even dropped the tank but didn't find any evidence of a leak. The smell is still occurring. When you first park the vehicle after a drive it is real strong and then goes away. |
