I purchased a 2011 ford fusion on 12/14/16. It had a half tank of gas in it when i took delivery. I filled the tank on 12/15/16.

Due to a lot of snow and ice we have had, i have not been able to tell if there is actually any fuel leaking onto the ground but the odor is there once the car is parked after driving. There is a known…
