WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS MORE THAN 50% FULL THERE IS A STRONG PERSISTENT ODOR OF FUEL THAT FILLS MY PARKING GARAGE AND CAN ALSO BE SMELLED IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS BELOW 50% FULL THE ODOR IS LESS NOTICEABLE AND VIRTUALLY DISAPPEARS AS THE FUEL TANK EMPTIES. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE FUEL LEAKS AND THERE IS NO LACK OF PERFORMANCE FROM THE ENGINE. IT APPEARS THAT FUEL VAPORS ARE LEAKING FROM THE TANK WITHOUT LEAKING TO THE GROUND. THE FUEL CAP IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND PROPERLY SECURED.
