My 2008 pontiac g6 convertible is leaking fuel from the top of the fuel tank. I had the car lifted up on lifts at the dealership I work at and saw that there was fuel all around the bottom of the fuel tank. The fuel line is leaking because the vehicle does not start on the first attempt. The second attempt builds up enough fuel pressure for a normal start. The fuel odor has gotten so bad inside the cabin that I have to keep the windows cracked at all times while driving to keep me from getting a headache. I can be driving down the road and literally watch the fuel needle drop. Gm need to do something about this issue before I or someone else are seriously injured or even killed in a fire!

Fuel pump assembly port developed a crack, resulting in fuel leaking from the area. A very strong fuel odor was noticed when being driven or parked, with slight drips sometimes noticed on the garage floor. The odor was so strong that it was even noticeable in the living areas from simply entering and leaving the garage. If an ignition source were present, a vehicle fire could have occurred, a serious concern. My local mechanic inspected and repaired the vehicle, and believed that the vehicle should be part of a pontiac recall on similar cobalt, g5, ion vehicles, that they've seen the problem on before, but our VIN does not register as a recalled vehicle for this problem.
