1 Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 07/26/2018

There was/is a strong fuel smell emitting from the rear left side of the car. It is very noticeable when the car is running and then parked in an enclosed area or if standing near it especially on that side. After some light inspection it seems the fuel pump high pressure line is leaking at the pump exit fitting/junction to the high pressure fuel line. This has only recently come to my attention. I assured I had the fuel cap secured and the tank is only half fuel. I can only conclude this is a faulty design or materials and is a severe safety hazard. The fuel tank or fuel system has not been worked on and shows no sign of damage. The car has just over 85,500 miles and is stored in a closed and secure private garage. Gm has no recall but has updated parts and will gladly sell them to you and have their dealer repair the defective design at the owners full expense. They accept no direct responsibility for this problem and resulting repair costs yet they saw to it to update the replacement parts.

I have a very strong fuel smell coming from the drivers side near the rear wheel. I believe the problem to be a leak from the top of the fuel pump module, maybe it's cracked and spraying fuel on top of my tank. I am afraid the fuel will run down onto the exhaust pipe and catch fire.

Overwhelming fuel odors. . At first I assumed it might be a bad fuel cap. Replaces with oem fuel cap and smell if still very much present. . 1 thing to note. . Smell is present only when fuel tank is filled past half a tank. When I only put about 5-6 gallons from empty; there is no smell or odor. . Have tried it on several occasions and has proven positive on each fill up over 6 gallons. .

When the fuel tank is more than 50% full there is a strong persistent odor of fuel that fills my parking garage and can also be smelled in the car while driving. When the fuel tank is below 50% full the odor is less noticeable and virtually disappears as the fuel tank empties. There are no visible fuel leaks and there is no lack of performance from the engine. It appears that fuel vapors are leaking from the tank without leaking to the ground. The fuel cap is in good condition and properly secured.
