Consumer Description

STRONG GASOLINE SMELL WHENEVER THE TANK IS MORE THAN HALF FULL. SO STRONG THAT I CAN SMELL GASOLINE IN THE HOUSE IF THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED IN THE ATTACHED GARAGE OVERNIGHT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE HIGH CONCENTRATION OF GASOLINE VAPOR MIGHT B E A FIRE HAZARD TO THE HOUSE. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT GASOLINE COULD TOUCH THE EXHAUST AND CATCH FIRE WHILE DRIVING. NO ODOR WHATSOEVER WHEN THE TANK IS BELOW HALF FULL.
