Consumer Description

UPON FILLING MY FUEL TANK FULL OF GASOLINE, I PARKED THE CAR IN MY GARAGE AND NOTICED A VERY PREDOMINATE FUEL VAPRO SMELL THAT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE. THERE NEVER HAS BEEN ANY EVIDENCE OF FUEL LEAKAGE OR POOLING ON THE FLORR BELOW THE CAR. WHEN I INADVERTENTLY FILL THE FUEL TANK FULL, I HAVE TO TAKE A DRIVE AND PUT ABOUT 30MILES ON THE CAR THEN THE FUEL VAPOR ODOR PROBLEM IS SOLVED FROM READING THE INTERNET BLOGS, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THE SYMPTOMS FOR MY CAR
