Owner report 10884094 · 2016-07-11 (July 11, 2016)

POSSIBLE LEAK IN AREA OF FUEL TANK, STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE, ESPECIALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. I BELIEVE THE SEAL BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN ION (RECALL NUMBER 12V459000).
