Can you be a little more specific? Where is the gas leak coming from? The gas tank or somewhere else?

Can you take a pic?

I see that the gaz come from the upper of the tank's but i can't confirm where exactly come from, that's why i ask if it can be a gasket...

The car have 12 years old, it's mayby normal that some of you had this problem ??

I've check and if i want to remve the Tank i will have to remove the exhaut line too !!!!

If i remove the rear seat can i have some access to the tank and check where that gas can leak ???

Thank's very much !!!

No you cant remove the back seat to see. That will just show you the trunk. You have to pinpoint where its leaking from for us to be able to help you.

Bump as I think I am having this issue also.
But I have been looking it up and it seems that this happens past a certain point on the gas where there is a seam?
Does anyone know where this seam could be? And how I may be able to repair it externally?

Seems to be a common problem, I haven't looked for myself, but my MIL is having the same leak issue, somewhere near the tank, from what I can tell.

Will take a look this evening to update where the leak appears to be coming from.

Car was going to the shop tomorrow for the repair.

It's a '00.
