1. I was filling my gas tank the other day when I spotted a hue leak under the car. 2. The filler tube on my Mitsubishi Eclipse 2000 is totally rusted (dealer report) after not even 8 years since manufacturer. The gas filler is cracked. This is a high risk to both myself and other traffic participants since a leak in the gas system due to the inappropriate manufacturing (totally rust in less than 8 years) could result into something very tragic. 3 immediately after the leak has been seen I took the car to the Mitsubishi dealership, they found the problem described above and they said that the entire gas filling circuit must be replaced since it is rusted and deteriorated.

: the contact stated there was a strong odor of gasoline after the vehicle was parked. Upon further inspection underneath the vehicle, the contact discovered a small leak from the gasoline tank. Gasoline leakage was also present on the pavement where the vehicle was parked. There were no prior problems or any obvious road hazards. Although the leakage persisted, the vehicle was not seen by a dealer. Updated 3/9/2006 - a tiny pinhole size leak was found but the outside of the tank had no marks and showed no signs of damage.
