1 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 01/12/2019

After filling up the tank on my Corvette, I started smelling gas fumes inside the car, and later in my garage. I left the car parked outside for a day, and after putting it back inside the garage, it continued to have a strong smell of gas. I checked the gas cap and it was secure. Dealer said to bring it in immediately.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2017

There is a smell of gas after filling the tank. Whether using hold the handle or the auto fill, when the nozzle clicks off, before removing the nozzle from the tank filler neck, I reach over and manually shut the pump off in one of two ways: 1) multiple handle pumps: move the selected grade "pump lever" from the "up" (to pump) to the "down" (shut off) position, or 2) single handle pump for dispensing multiple grades of gasoline: use a finger to push the actuator up to shut off the pump before replacing the handle on the pump. I never "top off" or "round up to the next cent or dollar" but there is still an odor of gas.
