“On 2/3/04 I filled up the gas tank on my 1997 Ford Mustang Gt. I then drove 2-3 miles to work. On the way to work I smelled a gasoline odor. When I pulled into the parking lot of my office the smell was very strong. Upon exiting my car I saw gasoline streaming out of the bottom of the car. I had the car towed to gwinnett place Ford. They called back and told me that the grommet where the filler neck enters the gas tank had dry rotted and failed. This repair cost over $300 excluding towing. …”
