A year ago my mechanic and I removed my new gas tank and installed the crossover pipe and a seal kit with all the rubber grommets and clamps. He used some special RTV silicone on all the rubber grommets before installing it. Now it's a year later and the smell of gas permeates outside the vehicle when I fill up. I have no idea what to do. I am at my wits end at this point.
Either a hose is damaged, or a seal must have blown ( hard to believe with the new rubber and RTV silicone though). Does anyone have any advice?
