Recall work completed by manufacturer in April of 99. Approximately mid sept. 99 noticed minor gasoline fumes, thought possibly spilling of fuel when refueling vehicle. Oct. 3 starting felling nausea and headaches, thought was the flu. By oct. 10th extremely heavy fumes from vehicle even when not on. Took to manufacturer, and o-rings replaced n/c. Problem is how do I know if this is happening again. I have lost faith in the repair, and am concerned over health of my family with fumes, and possible ignition of gas. How do I know it is really fixed? is there anyway of testing for emission of fumes periodically to ensure that they aren't leaking again. If I take to the manufacturer will they tell me, how bad it really is, or should I go to an independent testing facility? concerned!.
