I recently noticed a bad fuel odor coming from the rear of the vehicle, i put the car on a lift and saw the fuel lines from the filter to the tank wet with gasoline. Th elines disappear into the top of the tank, I havent had the chance to lower the tank yet to see where the lines go or where the actual leak is. My question is, is this a common problem people have seen before and if it is where would i expect to find this leak? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Most likely it's ur fuel pump, the dealer replace mine free of charged 2 weeks ago

 

ohhh your from rockland ???? I grew up in Orange county... now i live on long island .
Glad to see some local folk on here lol


I know GM issued a recall on the leaking gas tank. Not to sure on the specifics but you may qualify, if you play dumb with the dealer.

Search "cobalt ss gas tank recall" or something.

 

Yes i am from Rockland. I havent heard anything about that recall. Ill search for it though thanks for the tip.

 

Thanks for the advice, i searched for and found the recall on the fuel pump module, I called my dealer and they told me its open and they will be taking care of it this Monday!

 

Perfect, glad you are getting this resolved, do you mind posting your finding for future usage for anyone else who may run into this issue ?

 

Had this issue a week ago. Also fixed under "special warranty". Odor is gone and now my mpg is a lot better!

 

i smell gas pretty often too -_- maybe its that same issue...

 

I would also check to see if you have a recall for that. I had one for the fuel lines cracking and leaking fuel. I'm sure a Chevy dealership can help you with that.

 

I should've read all the post before posting my own...
