Problems with 2001 Mitsubishi Galant FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

There is a major gas in my car. the spell is there 100% of the time. when you come within 20 feet of the car...you get the overwhelming gas spell. i'm afraid to drive the car at all now. i'm a single father on full disability, with a 16 year old daughter with no mother. i can't afford the gas which doubled due to the gas leak. more importantly...i can't drive my daughter to school...anywhere. *tr
