Strong smell of gasoline inside car while driving on a 55mph divided highway and 1/2 tank of gas indicated. Within approximately 10 miles of driving on the highway and back roads attempting to make it to a service station, ~1/8 tank of gas was indicated by gauge, the engine stopped running after only 1 stumble. Heavy smell of raw gasoline inside of car and under hood. No puddle of gas was observed under car. The local police were called out and confirmed no currently leaking gas before aaa would dispatch a tow truck. The car was towed to the selling dealer and diagnosed as a failed high pressure fuel pump and a clamp not connected between high pressure fuel pump and high pressure fuel hose. I was told this fault would cause an incorrect fuel level to be shown but dealer would not confirm it was the cause of the lost gasoline. The car had previously had the fuel recall performed by the same dealer and dealer said the recall had been performed properly and this failure was not related. When car was retuned after pump replacement, interior of car and engine still smelled of gasoline but car seemed to be driving normally.
