DRIVING AND NOTICED SMELL OF GASOLINE. PARKED CAR AND INSPECTED. NOTICED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING FROM A STRESS CRACK NEAR THE FUEL TANK STRAP. FUEL LEAK IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I STARTED SMELLING AN EXTREMELY LARGE GAS SMELL SO I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED UNDER MY CAR AND MY GAS TANK WAS LEAKING EVERYWHERE. IT HAS A STRESS CRACK. NO PUNCTURE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THE TANK JUST STARTED SPLITTING APART.
