Gas leak...
Started to smell gas on hard acceleration, really bad with a full tank. Even noticed the bottom of the tank wet with fuel. Desided to smoke check it myself before warrenty work. Found a broken plastic flange on the top of the tank where the evap lines are hooked up. Looks like I'll be getting a new tank......

If you lived just 1 state South, I would have bet you had lit a match to see better!Originally Posted by G8-4-Speed
My Clubsport had the same issue.
Took many months for the dealership to find it, but they replaced the tank and a bunch of seals. All good now.
