Consumer Description

FILLED THE TANK ON MY WAY TO WORK AND BEGAN SMELLING GAS. UPON COMING OUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE WAS A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER THE CAR. AT THIS POINT THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR WAS UNBEARABLE. GOT THE CAR HOME AND FOUND FUEL LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE REAR WHEEL. LOOKING UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND FUEL STREAMING FROM THE FRONT PORTION OF THE FUEL TANK NEAR THE SUPPORT STRAP. IT APPEARS THAT THE TANK IS CRACKING IN THIS LOCATION. WITHOUT REMOVING THE TANK IT APPEARS TO BE A STRESS FRACTURE OF SOME KIND IN THE PLASTIC TANK. *TR
