asked by on August 18, 2017

I filled my gas tank and toped it off, it started leaking under the car. I was told the tank is faulty. The VIN number does not come up on any recall so dealer won't touch it. It's a 2005 Jaguar S type 3.0 v6 with 94K. It doesn'tr leak anymore and I don't fill it all the way. Is it safe to drive daily. again no sign of leak?

My car has 94000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
