Hi all:
I wanna believe the car is supposed to be pretty fuel efficient like my 2010 Toyota Yaris, but I feel maybe I'm losing fuel faster than anticipated?
When I accelerate onto the highway, the fuel gauge will lower noticably and then go back up.
When my mechanic checked the car underneath yesterday, it looked like burnt stains at the bottom back side of the car.
Is the car leaking gasoline and burning from the heat of the vehicle? No white smoke to my knowledge. Some drops of liquid can be found when parked near my rear bumper and near the rear tires.
A rack and pinion leak wouldn't travel all the way to the rear tires or to the rear in general, correct?
If the gas tank has insufficient internal baffles gas can slosh around inside making the fuel gauge move around. If you were leaking gasoline you should be able to smell it but being a safety issue it should be given closer examination. Given the age of the car the tank could have a leak or the rubber lines leading into it could have deteriorated.

Could I use AT205 for this?

Huh? For a fuel leak? Surely you must be kidding.

No, I'm not kidding. I just don't know any better so that's why I'm asking. 😅
OK, fair enough, the answer is an emphatic NO!!! Not only is AT205 not at all designed for that, no stop-leak product is. Anything you put in the gas to stop a leak would totally plug up the fuel system. Also, gasoline leaks are dangerous and must be repaired properly.
