This is my son's car.

I CAN see some wetness under the tank....not sure yet if it is the tank seam and need to replace it or where it is coming from

 

What I can't figure out is why it should smell INSIDE the car

 

Do you guys have any insight on this? Could there be an inside issue as well? where?

thanks

 

Fuel vapors will get in wherever they can. Doesn't take much for you to notice a strong odor of gas inside the car. Put a couple drops of gasoline on a rag and leave it in the trunk and you'll smell it everywhere in the car in a mater of minutes.

Pump access is behind the rear seats, make sure the access plate is secured properly and the foam gasket is there.

 

A leaking filler tube is the typical source for leaks on these cars, but if you live in a rust prone area the outlets on the pump assembly can rust and leak as well. When you check the access plates take a good look at the top of the pump for evidence of leaks there.
