All the gas leaked out?

Was there a huge puddle of gas under the car? There have been people syphoning gas out of peoples tanks lately..... Although it seems crazy I wouldn't put it passed people.

Re: Help!!!!

There was a huge puddle of gas under the car when I parked. First my service engine light came on while I was driving. Then there was a strong gas odor. I didn't see the puddle until after I parked the car. I thought maybe the technichan did not hook something back up.

Re: Help!!!!

unless there was a fuel injection cleaning service or the fuel filter was changed, the fuel system most likey wasn't touched. if the leak was from the fuel filter, the leak should be near the driver front wheel. i would call the service shop, tell them what happened, and say you would like to tow the car back to the shop and have them check it, see what they say.(you wouldn't drive a car with a fuel leak would you?) assuming the leak was a result of the service, they should not charge you for the repair or the tow, with any luck...
