Gas puddles inside under rear seat causing strong smell of gas in cabin. Replaced oring gasket however that was not the problem and did not fix the issue. Still have not confirmed where the leak is coming from....it could be the plastic line, plastic nipple that the line connects too, or the plastic housing fuel transfer pump. Still unsure where it's leaking lots of gas.

My chrysler 300c constantly smell like fuel. I have taken to the chrysler dealer who claims he didn't smell anything. Now my vehicle is out of warranty and I still smell fuel. I don't know what to do because the chrysler experts are not helping the situation. Hopefully you can help me get it resolved. I am not alone. You angel the fuel whether the tank is full or not. You have to drive with the windows open.

After I refuel my car, it always smells like gas inside the cab. I recently looked to see where it is coming from, and found it on the passenger side back seat. The transfer pump has a puddle of gasoline on the back side of it. I did some research and found that other people who have this make and model car are also experiencing the same issue.
