2017 Kia Sorento Fuel System Problems

You noticed a strong gasoline smell after driving and found fuel leaking from underneath your vehicle near the fuel tank. The leak was coming from the fuel pump outlet line, which had developed hairline cracks causing fuel to spray out under pressure. Replacing the fuel pump assembly resolved the issue.

To whom this may concern, I'm having to replace an upper module fuel pump that goes into the top of the tank. This part is being recalled on several other Kia vehicles but not mine. The car was stalling and had a heavy smell of gasoline.

Upper fuel pump module is defected and will malfunction. This leads to a fuel leak inside the vehicle. You will be able to see the leak if you remove the back seat and you will be able to smell the fumes of the fuel inside and outside the vehicle.
