| Gasoline Fuel System problems |
The fuel leaked onto the ground, onto the exhaust, and the smell was inside the vehicle cabin. We got the fuel pump assembly replaced but we still have a fuel cap failure now with no result. There is a design flaw present & using a band-aid for the problem will not solve anything.
I would like to add my complain the action pe12001, my vehicle has a cdi motor but is leaking in the same manner I've been reading about. I always get a fuel odor in my garage. When I fill my vehicle it leaks from someplace and leaves a puddle of fuel on the ground on the rear drivers side. If I don't fill all the way it doesn't leak to the floor but I still get the fuel smell. My biggest concern is the car catching fir with my grandchildren buckled in and slow to get out if there was an emergency fire. Also if the water heater flame was to ignite the fumes burning down my home. This seems to be a manufactures flaw as the car has been well maintained and never in an accident.
