Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox

Very strong smell of gas in my garage. Moved my vehicle outside and let the garage air. Pulled my car back into the garage after a period of time closed the garage door and the smell of gas was apparently coming from the right side where the gas cap is located. Took car to Chevrolet dealer was told my gas tank was cracked cost would be $1500. 00 got a second opinion was told the return line of the fuel pump was leaking and needed to be replaced. Cost was $1068. 00.

Notice a strong gas smell near filler door; noticed slight wetness on gas tank underneath car and the smell of gas is overwhelming. The closeness of the gas tank and the exhaust pipe cause concern for a fire.

The fuel module is leaking gas down the passenger side of the gas tank (four inches from the exhaust pipe). Chevrolet has this same problem on the cobalt and it was recalled. The Equinox has not yet been recalled for this problem. This is a potential thermal event.
