I have a 2010 LR4 and this week it seems to have developed a strong gas smell. Maybe a leak but can't find but it sure smells strong. Seems to be coming from rear passenger location. Any ideas?

Guys,
Any help with this would be great, I hate to take it to the dealer if it's a simple fix. Has anyone dealt wit this in the past?

Had this issue in my 2010 LR4. Ended up being a hairline crack in the fuel pump housing. Hopefully yours ends up being as easy a fix. Mine was easy to fix, but hard to diagnose.

The gas tank on these vehicles seat very low. Often, if not careful, shops place the lift in such a way that it put pressure on the gas tank, hence cracking the fuel pump housing.

I bought my 2010 last year and noticed a strong gas smell when I filled up the tank. The previous owner had the fuel pump replaced and I suspect they didn't replace the seal properly. I was going to drop the tank and fix it but the smell stopped after a few months. Still on my list of things to do.

I'm not sure how this works, isn't the fuel pump inside the gas tank? Does this mean that if you used the skid plate and dragged over a rock or something that you could crack the fuel pump housing??

Is there fuel pump housing access inside the LR4 or do you have to drop the tank? Mine is leaking pretty bad from the top of the tank
