At times the I can smell fuel fumes inside/outside of the car. The is no leakage, only the fumes are escaping the fuel tank. There was a recall on the 1995 mitsubishe Eclipse gs 1995 (same as mine) for this same problem. NHTSA campaign number: 96V158000. And NHTSA campaign number: 96V158001. The fuel tank gaskets for the fuel pump and/or gauge unit gasket could have been incorrectly installed allowing fuel or fumes to escape. If an ignition source were present, the fuel leakage could result in a fire. But when I contacted the mitsubshi dealer they refuse to fix the problem as they say my car's VIN number does not show this recall.
