What owners say
Gas smell coming from the tank or a fuel pump when gas is full. Hairline crack in fuel pump/tank causing horrible smell inside car cabin and exterior.
Just bought this 2012 chrysler 300 and not even having it 2 weeks I filled up my tank and smelled a very strong fuel smell. My husband lifted up the back seat and found a quite large puddle just sitting on top of the fuel pump. We thought it was the oring but we replaced that yesterday and filled it up again and noticed another good size puddle on top of the fuel pump again.
