Fuel vapor odors began accumulating in the garage during an overnight park. when vapors became excessive, vehicle was parked outside. eventually, the vapors became noticeable while idling at a traffic light.. vehicle was taken to a car care clinic and diagnosed with a severely rusted fuel tank. i am grateful there was no fire from a spark. |
