The fuel tank leaks when the engine is running. In 2010, this condition resulted in an additional warranty for the issue that expired in 2014, but I have a lower mileage car (less than 18,000 miles) so the issue did not occur until now. The problem emerged suddenly after fully refilling the fuel tank recently.
Strong fuel smell after filling the gas tank. Goes away once tank is less than 1/2 full as read by the gauge.
After filling the gas tank strong gas smell coming from fill area but no visible fuel leak the gas smell does not go away after days and many miles driven.
After filling up my vehicle, drove home sat in driveway for a few minutes, adjusted radio stations, I smelled a strong odor of gas, turn vehicle off still smelling gas, looked under driver's side of vehicle and seen a puddle of fluid, put my finger in it and it was gas!, I'm thinking now that's why the used car dealership only put a half a tank of gas in it! purchased this 2004 Corvette back in March 2018 have only put 60 miles on it, it now only has 14,936 miles on it! what could have happened if I parked the car in shopping center parking lot, with a cigarette that just been thrown down?.
Leaving service station after filling car with fuel gas fumes were filling the car. Parked it in garage and next morning garage stunk of gas fumes. Backed car out of garage and saw no fuel leaking but fumes still very bad in car. Called local Chevrolet dealer and they said there was not a recall for this. Husband took car to auto shop and put on hoist, where a wet spot was found. Mechanic said the connector tube between the two gas tanks was wet from the gasoline. No way to take a photo because the area to look up and see the connector is so small.
When I was filling up my car at a gas station I noticed a rather strong smell of gas. I looked under the car to see that it was leaking fuel. I finished the car trip and took it to the dealer. They said the gas tank was leaking and needed to be replaced.
