Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I recently purchased this vehicle from a used car dealer and i stopped on the way home to fill up the tank with gas and got a car wash. after ariving at my home i noticed a strong fuel odor. i checked under the vehicle and there was a significant amount of gas running off of the fuel tank and down the rear of the vehicle. the dealership picked up the vehicle and fixed it for me. they tell me that it was the fuel pump. i believe the leak was coming from the top of the tank, but i'm not convinced that it was the fuel pump. there was enough fuel that it was dangerous to drive in my opinion.*ak
