Consumer Description

STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN INTERIOR OF CAR ALONG WITH SMELL IN GARAGE AFTER OVERNIGHT PARKING. CHECKED ENGINE FOR LEAKS AS WELL AS GENERAL TANK AREA. NEGATIVE. I THINK THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT (UNDER REAR SEAT MAY BE LOOSE OR DEFECTIVE. CAN'T OVER EMPHASIZE THE STRONG GAS SMELL, WHILE STATIONARY--SEEMS TO DISSIPATE ON MOVEMENT.
