I have twice. The problem is the dealership service can't replicated the problem and they have no idea what it could be.

Did you tell the service dept. about that? Obviously a fuel leak is a serious issue and needs to be corrected ASAP.

The '18s had an issue with the fuel pressure regulator in the fuel pump but I thought the fix was done to the '19s. Maybe your '19 was built early enough that it doesn't have the fix?
