I smell gas inside the car, I took it to a shop and they told me the gas tank is all rusted on top, causing the gas to spill out. Speaking with Nissan they said this is part of wear and tear of the vehicle, which I do not agree with.
I'm surprized with all the complaints about the fuel tanks rusting out that there has not been a recall. Are they waiting for one to blow up or catch fire. The o ring leaks vapor and gas on fill ups because that area is all rusted. Either they have to use better coatings or hide that area from the enviroment. The flange area is like a well and the water just sits there and rusts away the tank. P0455code is set which is evap system gross leak. Nissan omitted to me that they have problems with rusted fuel tanks . What is it going to take to get Nissan to redesign a fix for this?.
Flange around the fuel sending unit is corroded and fumes are escaping from the gas tank every time I fuel up my vehicle. Many Xterras have this issue. I believe it should be a recall.
