when i bought the car the guy told me the driver quarter was changed , said someone backed up into it at the airport ..... so maybe the gas tank could be bad , baffles broken inside , what you think ??????

gotta be something like that cuz there shouldn't be any other reason why this should happen. smell of gas is common while revving but not the gas pouring out the cap. bring it to a body shop and see what they say. i wish i could help but sorry!
