Large fuel leak in the engine compartment: while starting the vehicle in a parking lot, the engine was difficult to start but then started. the driver began to depart by backing out of the parking space, then a strong gasoline smell was present, as the two front windows were rolled down. the front passenger noticed liquid flowing out from under the front of the vehicle on the passenger side while the car moved forward by about 2-3 parking spaces. the driver immediately stopped, shut down the engine and investigated. the strong smelling liquid appears to be gasoline leaking from under the engine compartment. the vehicle was parked on the spot as the two occupants evacuated the vehicle. while outside, the sound of gasoline splashing down could be heard. a tow truck was called, and the vehicle was towed to the nearest dealership. dealership personnel helped pushed the vehicle in neutral gear (without starting) into the service area pending inspection. dealership report showed fuel injector #1 leaking. service advisor confirmed it was injector leak, not seals. this is a very serious fire risk.
