Consumer Description

I STARTED MY CAR AND NOTICED A GASOLINE SMELL. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN. WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING I STEPPED AROUND TO CHECK THE EXHAUST AND NOTICED LIQUID POURING FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEAR THE REAR WHEEL. I REALIZED THIS WAS GASOLINE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE NEAR THE GAS TANK. IT ONLY POURED OUT WHEN IT THE CARS IGNITION WAS IN THE THE 2ND POSITION AND RUNNING - MEANING WHILE THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS UNDER PRESSURE. HAVING IT TOWED AT GREAT EXPENSE TO CARMAX. I COULD HAVE DIED HAD I NOT SEEN THIS HUGE LEAK!!!
