	Tl*the contact owns a 2008 saturn aura. while filling the tank with fuel at a service station, the contact observed a gasoline leak coming from the fuel tank underneath the vehicle. he noticed a stream of gasoline on the ground. the fire department was called to the scene for safety concerns. the vehicle is currently being towed to an authorized dealer. the failure and current mileages were 4,000. phone interview update (jul-09-2008): the complainant did not realize for a while that the fuel tank was leaking while he was refueling it. he estimated that four gallon of gasoline was spilled. the saturn dealer told him that something connecting to the fuel tank was leaking and that the fuel tank had to be replaced. the vehicle was still at the saturn dealership awaiting repair.
