Gas smell in the cabin by model year
What owners say
Very bad fuel odor when gas tank is filled..happens very time car is fueled..no visible gas leaks.
Raw fuel smell in vehicle when driving. This occurs daily. No idea how to repair problem.
The rear welded flanges on the tail pipes on my 1998 corvette both failed on my car causing increased heat and exhaust fumes to be pulled into the passenger compartment.
After driving vehicle for several hours, excessive pressure builds in the gasoline tank. Pressure is high enough that gasoline is jetisoned from the tank. A person unaware of this situation could be sprayed with gasoline. In addition, when vehicle is parked in home garage, gasoline fumes are excessive. Since pilot lights for water heater and furnance are also located in garage, this could lead to an explosion.
