Fuel leak!

Ok well, i been smelling fuel for the past 2 days and seeing my tank dropping quicker than normal. So i stepped out of the car tonight when i parked it and smelled it again so i look by the back tire and see fuel on the floor, at this point i am so mad because today is fri and i cant get the car into the shop until mon. mind you this is the 2nd time this has happend to me and i had a feeling it was coming. Last time it was the same signs the check engin light is on then my fuel light flashs and a red display shows up saying gas cap something.
Has anyone else came across any of the same problems?

If its wet or smells the strongest by the left rear wheel, then it's probably your fuel pump leaking at the fuel fitting. Has happened to me and several others with E55 and will have to be replaced.

That really sucks. Make sure you rip the appropriate person a new one for not doing a decent job the first time...


I can accept that some things break. I'm not as willing to accept things being poorly repaired.
