Hard starts, stalling and poor gas mileage
If you smell raw gas, don’t put it off. A fuel leak is a fire risk. Park the car outside and call your nearest shop.
Most fuel problems show up as hard starts, stalling or a tank that empties too fast. Fuel passes through many parts on its way to the engine, and any one of them can fail. We trace it from the tank to the engine, fix the fault and clean the fuel system.
