Consumer Description

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, THERE BEGAN A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN MY GARAGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK. AFTER THIS HAPPENING SEVERAL OTHER TIMES, I HAD THE CAR TESTED FOR A FUEL LEAK. A SMOKE TEST WAS PERFORMED AND NO LEAK WAS FOUND. UPON SEARCHING AN ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM, IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN LINCOLN MKX AND FORD EDGE SUV'S MADE IN 2007 AND AFTER. THERE ARE MANY IN ONLINE FORUMS WHO HAVE BEEN TOLD THE UPPER PART ("NECK") OF THE GAS TANK HAS CORRODED CAUSING FUEL TO SPRAY ONTO THE CHASIS. THIS IS ALSO MY EXPERIENCE, AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING BY MY MECHANIC. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE FUMES AFTER FILLING THE TANK IS NOT TOLERABLE AND NOT SAFE. WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD, I CAN ONLY SPECULATE. *TR
