A GAS ODOR COMING FROM THE GAS FILL TUBE.
STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN CAR GETS FILLED UP. THEN AFTER I GO OUT OF THE GAS STATION CAR ACCELERATES BY ITSELF AFTER STOPPING AND ENGINE STOPS. AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AGAIN VERY STRONG GAS SMELL. THIS WILL GO ON AFTER SOME OF THE GAS IS WASTED.
BOUGHT 2010 CORVETTE ON 4/29/2020 OUT OF TOWN. LAST 2 DAYS HAVE HAD STRONG GAS SMELL IN GARAGE. SAW ONLINE ABOUT AN ISSUE AND POSSIBLE RECALL?
WENT TO FILL UP TANK AND DROVE OFF WITH A VERY BAD GAS SMELL INSIDE THE CAR, PUT CAR IN GARAGE AND SMELL WAS SO BAD HAD TO OPEN GARAGE AND PUT CAR OUT. IT ONLY SMELLS WHEN I FILL UP TANK.
WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE, IT FILLS THE GARAGE WITH RAW FUEL ODOR. THIS HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN IT IS AROUND 3/4 TANK. NO FUEL LEAKS ON THE FLOOR VISIBLE BUT ODOR IS VERY STRONG. GAS MILEAGE HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY AS WELL.
AFTER FUELING AND FOR AT LEAST 100 MILES AFTERWARD THERE IS A DISTINCT GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE THE CAR AND IN THE GARAGE. NO LEAKAGE NOTICED UNDER THE CAR.

AFTER FUELING AND FOR AT LEAST 100 MILES AFTERWARD THERE IS A DISTINCT GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE THE CAR AND IN THE GARAGE. NO LEAKAGE NOTICED UNDER THE CAR. TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER WHO PERFORMED THE SMOKE TEST WHICH IT FAILED. THEY REPLACED THE PUMP AND SENDING UNIT AT NO CHARGE. THIS OFFER FROM CHEVROLET EXPIRES AFTER 10 YEARS OR 120000 MILES CURRENTLY. THIS REMEDIATION SHOULD BE A RECALL OR A PERMANENT TECHNICAL SOLUTION FOR ANY CORVETTE OF THIS MODEL THAT EXPERIENCES THIS INCREASINGLY SERIOUS PROBLEM, NO MATTER WHEN IT OCCURS.
GAS SMELL WHEN TANK IS FILLED
AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK, I SMELL A STRONG GAS SMELL PRIMARILY FROM THE LEFT REAR (WHERE I FILL UP) SIDE OF THE CAR. IT FILLS MY GARAGE WITH STRONG FUMES AND I DON'T FEEL SAVE STARTING IT, MUCH LESS DRIVING IT. I DON'T SMELL ANYTHING IN THE CABIN, ONLY WHEN IT'S IN THE GARAGE. ALSO LEADS ME TO BELIEVE I'M LOOSING GAS AND FUEL EC…

AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK, I SMELL A STRONG GAS SMELL PRIMARILY FROM THE LEFT REAR (WHERE I FILL UP) SIDE OF THE CAR. IT FILLS MY GARAGE WITH STRONG FUMES AND I DON'T FEEL SAVE STARTING IT, MUCH LESS DRIVING IT. I DON'T SMELL ANYTHING IN THE CABIN, ONLY WHEN IT'S IN THE GARAGE. ALSO LEADS ME TO BELIEVE I'M LOOSING GAS AND FUEL ECONOMY SO THAT'S A DRAG. I'VE LOOKED AT POSSIBLE CAUSES, AND IT COULD BE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS SO IT'S CURRENTLY UKNOWN AS FAR AS WHAT PART IS EXACTLY WRONG. I SMELL THE FUMES WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY.
