What owners say
A fuel smell emanated from the vehicle while filling up at the gas station. Driver felt the smell while driving, and drove vehicle to the dealer. Mechanic determined that the welds needed to be replaced inside of the filler neck.
When filling fuel tank there is a strong presence of gas fumes. Dealer has not seen.
Fuel is leaking from the filler neck ever since I bought the car over two years ago. The car smells like fuel around the gas tank, and you can see gas running down the side of the tank from the filler neck. If the car is put in a garage, the garage will smell strongly of gasoline. This seems like a safety hazard.
In 1994 we took our 1991 camaro to brack rowe chevrolet for a recall on the gas tank filler neck. There was no problem then, the recall # was 92c36. In 1995 we noticed a faint gas odor in the car after filling up. The problem has gotten much worse, now gas leaks from the tank onto the exhaust pipe. Chevrolet says they have no open recalls on my vehicle and that it has too many miles on it for them to fix. This is a serious safety issue in that gas is leaking onto the exhaust pipe. The bill I got for the recall says "completed recall - inspected - no further work required." does this mean that chevrolet is not liable for their faulty work because they inspected my car one time?
Involved in recall no 94v077000 for the fuel tank, they replaced the fuel tank, but still having problem with strong fuel odor. Tt
