A couple of weeks ago my check engine light came on (not too alarming- happens a lot then goes back off) But this time it cam on after the "check fill cap" light came on. Today, after pumping about 8 gallons of gas into my car it started leaking (like gushing) then stopped. When I turned the car back on the gas gauge remained at a steady 1/2 tank. I smelled gas fumes around the time that the check engine light came on a couple weeks ago- what could this problem be?

You either have a large hole in your tank or there might be a rubber hose that has come loose from your filler neck
