2001 Volvo S60 fuel system problems

Filed May 7, 2021 · Fuel system · WA

Terrible gas smell every time I drive it. I got someone to check it out, there is gas leaking from the fuel pump. This person put some putty over the leak which stopped the smell but this is not safe. I see a recall for the fuel pump but it says my car doesn't have a current recall.

Extreme gas smell inside car. Noticed gas leaking from top of tank by the screws that hold it. Vehicle was parked in my drive way and as soon as my kids got in they noticed the strong smell. Not driving it defenetly can cause a fire.
