1998 Kia Sportage. Garage smelled like it might explode if a spark occurred anywhere. Fuel tank leaking gas all over the fuel tank shield. Hard to determine exact point of origin because the shield is in the way. After checking online, I see lots of other complaints of the same problem. Corrosion is the most common problem stated by others. I think this is a serious safety hazard and could cause a house fire in a garage. KIA should replace free of charge in my opinion.

Strong odor of gasoline in and around the car indicated a fuel leak. when investigated the leak was found coming from the fuel tank underneath the center part of the vehicle. appears to be due to corrosion of the tank. we are still checking on replacement fuel tanks for replacement and are not able to drive the vehicle.  view
