Does it sound like my Car has a petrol leak?

I have a 1999 Honda Accord and there's a really strong smell .Petrol and the petrol gauge is going down far too quickly and it start leaking when I fill it up even though I know its not too full.

I took it to mechanic and he has he has to take the whole gas tank out to see what is the culprict and the way its set up, it wil be very costly so he suggested I get another car? Can I drive this car for 2 more months or would that be too dangerous?

Added (1). I can afford to get it fixed but it might not be worth it as the car has other issues.So I'm going to get a newer car instead

Fuel leaks are always dangerous. If you can't afford to get it fixed how can you afford another car?

  • Which is the correct option to buy. Either Petrol Version or Diesel Version of Car? This is Sanjay, and staying in Chennai. I want to buy a car. Had 2 options in mind one with Swift Zxi and other with Honda Amaze S-MT (M). But am confused with which version to buy. Petrol or Diesel. With the current Price's and future hikes in fuel, which would be the correct option to buy. I will travel atleast 200-300 Km per month. Let me know any additional details if you need. This is my First Car.

  • Does this sound like I got good deal? I found a 2008 Honda Civic on Craigslist for $5,900. I talked the seller down to $5,000 and the car only has 105k miles on it. It does have a salvage title but it's not for anything too serious.
