I have noticed a smell of fuel from my et4 these past few days and today when removing the rear turn signals fuel dripped onto my exhaust!!! It seems the screw holding the lens on had punctured the fuel tank!! i had to drain,remove and seal the tank with a soldering iron i also stuck two small thin metal plates on with silicone and snipped off the ends of the screws.Seems last owner had lost screw and fitted a slightly longer one on r/h side !! So check your screw length PLEASE ps this might be the same for the LX not sure thanks Bill
