ABOUT 8 MILES AFTER SWITCHING FROM MAIN FUEL TANK TO AUXILIARY TANK, WITH THE DASHBOARD SWITCH, STARTED SMELLING FRESH GASOLINE. IT BECAME WORSE AND WORSE, FOR THE NEXT SHORT DISTANCE,. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY, AS QUICKLY AS I SAFELY COULD, AND CHECKED OUT THE CAUSE OF THE GASOLINE SMELL BEING SO SEVERE, AND FOUND THE GASOLINE JUST FLOWING, CONSTANTLY, OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE CHARCOAL CANISTER, A STREAM THE DIAMETER OF A PENCIL. THE FLOW OF GASOLINE FROM THIS SITE DID NOT DIMINISH BY ANY AMOUNT, UNTIL I SWITCHED THE DASH SWITCH BACK TO THE MAIN FUEL TANK, AND ALSO REMOVED THE CAP FROM THE SMALL FUEL TANK. THE FLOW OF GASOLINE SLOWED, A SMALL AMOUNT, BY DOING THIS, AND I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME AND PARKED IT. BY THE TIME I GOT IT PARKED, THE FLOW OF GASOLINE FROM THIS SITE HAD STOPPED, COMPLETELY. FUEL WAS ALSO LEAKING FROM THE AUXILIARY TANK, ALL ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK, BUT NOT AS BADLY AS THE FLOW FROM THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. THIS SURELY POSES A VERY DANGEROUS THREAT TO HUMAN LIFE; NOT ONLY MY OWN, BUT ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE BEEN AROUND, HAD AN EXPLOSION TAKEN PLACE, WHICH COULD VERY EASILY HAVE HAPPENED. THE GASOLINE STENCH WAS SO SEVERE, IN ITSELF, THAT IT MADE MY DAUGHTER SICK TO HER STOMACH, BEFORE THE FUEL STOPPED POURING OUT. PERHAPS THERE ALREADY HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE, WHICH IS A 32 FOOT MOTORHOME. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO CHECK TO SEE IF THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL. IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION REGARDING SUCH, WOULD APPRECIATE YOU LETTING ME KNOW. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

BRASS FITTING TO THE PROPANE GAS TANK FAILED RESULTING IN GAS TO COME GUSHING OUT.
