2011 Jaguar XF problems

“My 2011 Jaguar XF 5.0L V8 developed a serious fuel leak involving a cracked flange on top of the fuel tank. The problem initially presented as a strong raw gasoline odor around the vehicle, particularly after driving. The gasoline smell was noticeable near the rear of the vehicle, eventually became apparent around the entire exterior, and entered the passenger compartment through the air-conditioning vents. Initially, the odor was more noticeable when the fuel tank was full, but it later occurred even when the tank was approximately half full. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and identified a cracked flange on top of the fuel tank. The mechanic confirmed that gasoline was leaking from the cracked flange and showed me visible gasoline leakage underneath the vehicle. There was no check engine light or other warning indicating a fuel system malfunction. This condition presents a serious fire hazard because gasoline is escaping from the fuel system, and gasoline vapors can enter the passenger compartment. I am concerned about the safety of the driver, passengers, and others near the vehicle. The failure appears similar to the cracked fuel tank outlet…”
