My car smells like gas when its above a half tank. once it goes below a half tank the smell is not as strong. i took it to lakeside chevrolet in rockwall, texas and was told that it appears that seal on the fuel pump was broken causing gas to escape. i was originally told that chev would fix it at no cost to me then they called me 3 days later and told me warranty would not cover it because my cars age. wendell, in the service dept said that chev had extended the warranty to 10 years or 120,000 miles whichever came 1st because of the issues they were having with the fuel system. my car has 63,000 miles on it. i felt they should fix it but they wont unless i pay the $2500 or so.
The car has a strong gas smell that has a know problem that happens when tank is over half full. gm issued a special coverage adjustment 15682 primary tank module flange fuel and vapor leak in july 2016. but many of us as second owners did not receive the letter to take car back while still under warranty, the car has smell is so strong cannot park the car in garage and can smell when it outside. i would believe there could be a risk of fire if car was in a small enclosed space and a source of ignition was present. this should have been a full recall based on a gas vapor leak not just a service adjustment. i have tried to work with gm on this but they claim its to late even though they issued a 3rd revision of the adjustment in july 2017. to me for a known fuel vapor leak problem there should be no expiration like a recall
I have a strong gas odor coming from left rear side of the car when i fill the tank more than half full , the car only has 6000 miles, i purchased new in november 2007
A few months ago, i filled my 2008 corvette c6 with gas. i only filled it until the pump clicked off. i was already aware overfilling is not good for the car nor is it a safe practice. i drove about 25-30 miles before returning home. everything seemed fine until the following morning when i went out to my garage. the smell of gas was overpowering. i immediately opened both doors in the garage to allow it to air out. i then checked the gas cap. the smell was coming strongly from the driver's side rear. i checked under the fuel tank and felt gas. i parked the car for a few weeks until i could get it into a gm dealership. after they checked it out, i was told that this was a common problem with the car. i asked if chevrolet had issued any safety recalls and i was shocked that although chevrolet is very aware of the problem, they don't think their customers safety is worth taking away from the bottom line. to reiterate, the fuel system is leaking, gm is aware of the fault, and it's felt that they should recall this. if ...
Leaking fuel tank, while setting in my garage
A continued heavy smell of fuel after filling the gas tank when sitting and not running.
Strong odor of gas in garage from an apparent gas leak. no detectable leakage, just a strong gasoline odor.
On sunday afternoon i filled my 2008 corvette with gas. i only filled it until the pump clicked off.i was already aware overfilling is not good for the car nor is it a safe practice. i drove about 25-30 miles before returning home. everything seemed fine until the following morning when i went out to my garage. the smell of gas was overpowering. i immediately opened both doors in the garage to allow it to air out. i then checked the gas cap. i checked for any leaks but couldn't find any. i called my mechanic and reluctantly drove 2 blocks to have it looked at. he spent about 2 hours looking the car over but couldn't find any leaks. he then called his contacts at the local chevrolet dealer. he was told that this was a common problem with the car. he asked if chevrolet had issued any safety recalls and we were both very shocked that although chevrolet is very aware of the problem they don't think there customers safety is worth taking away from the bottom line. this repair is going to cost $2700. that's bad enough but can you imagine if i had been rear ended ...
Wiring harness for drivers seat failed causing airbag system to be disabled. fails at start-up. strong fuel smell from driver's side. vehicle stationary. not cured by replacing gas gap and fuel pump.
My 2008 corvette has a strong odor of gas fumes that fills my garage.. i have to leave my garage door up about 2' and the side door open to get the fumes out.. this started a week ago when i filled the tank up..
Car has a condition where a fuel odor is detected, fuel droplets appear below the left-hand fuel tank with fuel gauge level above 1/2, or a malfunction indicator lamp illuminates.
The odor of fuel can be smelled while outside and inside the vehicle. the smell is coming from the drivers side rear wheel area. research online shows that gm used faulty fuel pumps/seals. this is a very dangerous fault.
After filling the gas tank, gas and/or vapor is leaking from the tank. if i park the car in the garage it soon fills completely with a strong gas smell. i believe this is a fire hazzard.
Very strong fuel vapor smell, fuel pools up on top of fuel tank and leaks onto hot exhaust.
