Consumer would smell gas very strongly after filling tank. When taken to dealer on 11/12/9., dealer stated that a prolbem existed with the expansion tank and that the tank would be replaced.
After filling fuel tank the check engine light came on and there is a very strong gasoline smell outside the car and when stopped inside car. The engine code is for a gross evap leak.I can see fuel under gas tank coming from the top of the tank. I removed fuel pump accsess door and can see fuel bubbling out of the top of the fuel pump and overflowing the area. There is a visable crack on the top of the pump.
