Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of Mitsubishi Montero

I had been experiencing the smell of gasoline inside the car, stronger when I open the back rear luggage area and rear of Montero (closest to the gas fuel tank underneath). I do not see any active leak on the floor. My car has no damage, such as being rear ended or bumper damage at all. The tank may be defective or vaporizing into interior of car.

The cluster was repaired in the Montero but it only works once in awhile. The panel will tell me every now and then if I have fuel or not. Also, we had to pay to have an issue resolved that shouldn't have cost us anything because it was shown here as a defect for our make and model. Our car was leaking gas, and Mitsubishi refused to fix it, at their expense, even though it was listed here and there were very many complaints filed. We had to tow the car in because of the leak, and the fire department was called. Amazing that so little care was shown by Mitsubishi for something that could have caused a serious accident. This was the complaint and the recall (NHTSA recall id 01v254001) about the car being parked at an upward slope, the fuel tank leveling valve not maintaining proper sealing in the even that the fuel expands from the rise in ambient temp. Leakage of pressurized nitrogen gas from inside the accumulator, etc. Please check the recall notice.
