problem #1

Apr 102004

Accent 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 52,500 miles
Went on a trip out of the state. I noticed that I wasn't getting my normal mileage. I filled my gas tank when I arrived at my destination and parked; after an hour, I noticed that a river of gasoline was coming from my tank. After being parked two days, I had lost over 2 1/2 gallons of gas, and noted a distinct burning smell coming from my exhaust pipe during my drive home. I am in the process of arranging for an appointment with my dealer in order to have the gas tank replaced or repaired.
