Tank Mounting Problems of Volvo S60

I was planning to go into work a bit later than usual so I loaded up my two youngest boys into the car for my wife, after she pulled out I noticed numerous wet spots on my carport, there is enough tree pollen on the carport that it holds the fuel evidently for an extended period of time. Upon seeing the spots on the carport I ran my finger through the area and before I had my hand within a foot of my nose I could clearly identify the smell. I normally leave for work hours before my wife and kids depart for school and I normally arrive hours after they are home, it has taken me a while to notice the problem and discover the source. Our carport is open on three sides, in the last two weeks we have noticed a very strong gasoline smell, I thought it was from a gas can I kept nearby. After removal of the gas can we continued to smell the gasoline, it is so strong that even in an open area it will actually make you nauseous within minutes. I questioned my wife about her gas mileage and any out of the ordinary performance in the care lately, she stated that the gas mileage has decreased severely in the past couple of months and the car runs very rough as far as idling and acceleration. I used a floor jack to raise the left side of the car and discovered that the gas tank has a leak on the top of it or the outlet fuel line above the tank has a leak. Normally the car can be driven by my wife for her day to day purposes for two weeks on a full tank now it will not make one full week. There has been no incident where anyone was seriously hurt but I believe that the amount of fuel leaking could be a fatal defect at some point if not discovered and repaired properly. I did some investigating on the internet and discovered the filing and recall in arizona and nevada id # 07v152000. I have to wonder who decided that these two states were the only one's hot enough to have this problem? I have taken numerous pictures and would be happy to supply them if necessary. Thank you.
