You open the fill door and you smell gas?

is the check engine light on?

is the filler tube rusted?

have you tried a new fuel cap from the GM deal (do not use aftermarket caps from your local parts store)?

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

    still need more info, do you smell it all the time or is there a specific time when you can smell it? If the check engine light is not on than I can't imagine that there is a problem. Even the smallest leaks in the EVAP system will trigger a trouble code and illuminate the check engine light.

    Fuel is venting all the time around the tank fill area. I have to park the truck outside due to the strong fumes.

    I was reading somewhere else the indicated the fuel limiter vent valve might be stuck in an open position. Where is that part? how do you determine if that is the culprit? how do you change it out? Thanks.

    If that where the problem the check engine light would be on for sure. Does the check engine light come on when you turn the key on?

    It would be called the vent solenoid. If that where stuck open there would be a code for a large EVAP leak. P0420 I believe.

2002 ford taurus smell gas when the outside temperature is over 80 degrees

Fuel tanks have a vent tube and a charcoal cannister to capture the gas fumes from the tank. It's possible there is a cracked or loose hose, faulty fuel cap, bad canister or a fuel leak and any one of many connections. Investigate for sign of raw fuel along the underside of te vehicle, and in the engine compartment. Attempt to follow the smell to isolate the location of a leak.

Car smells like gas and has trouble starting

This sounds like your evaporative emissions system acting up. Has the check engine light come on? There should be a charcoal cannister that filters the vented air/fumes from the fuel tank. If a vacuum or vapor line is broken, or removed.. or if the charcoal canister is depleted, you'll get the gas smell.

My 1998 s 10 is throwing the po440 code which is the emmition code. I'm eating up a lot of gas. Its a 2.2 liter 4 cylender. My question is do you think it's a cylinoide in my gas tank or do you...

There is no solenoid in your gas tank. It's either a bad purge or vent solenoid, a leak in a vacuum line or a leak in the charcoal canister. GM has experienced lots of problems with the vent valve and tubing plugging up and staying open. That causes the engine to suck in too much air and kill your gas mileage. Start by testing/checking the vent solenoid

'04 yukon denali. Gas pump shuts off at every $2.00. Excessive pressure when cap is removed to fill. Not sure if vent is clogged. Need help. Any suggestions?

Sounds like vent tube or vapor canister is plugged. Try compressed air into vent tube. If that doesn't cure, vapor canister filter is plugged.

2001 hyundai accent, trouble filling gas tank

I have 2002 Hyundai Accent. When fueling, I had to trickle the fuel in to prevent the fuel dispenser from constantly shutting off. Even then I could only get about a quarter gallon at a time between fuel shutoffs. Would take 10-15 minutes to put in 10 gallons. Very frustrating. I found and fixed the problem today. There is a charcoal cannister that is part of the Evaporative Emissions control system. It is located inside the rear fender well on the driver side, behind the driver side rear tire. You cant miss it. Actually looks like a square plastic box and it has hoses coming out of it. I removed the entire charcoal cannister assembly in about 15 minutes. Follow carefully. First, remove the electrical connector to the purge control valve (this valve assemby is mounted to the side of the charoal cannister on a bracket). No big deal. Then disconnect the three hoses that come out from the cannister assembly on the one side that faces the rear tire. Two of these hoses are small diameter about 1/4" and one is larger at about 5/8 inch diameter. Then you remove the 3 bolts that hold the whole cannister to the car frame. Then the whole piece comes out. Once I got the cannister and purge control valve out of the car as a whole assy I found the problem. The larger of the 3 hoses you disconnected as well as the port it connects to on the cannister was packed with the small charcoal pellets and actually formed a solid plug inside that larger hose. I had to stick a screw driver through that hose to knock the plug out that those charcoal pellets had formed. It all makes sense now. When you fill the tank with gas, you also push out air and vapor from the gas tank that is being displaced by the rising fuel in the tank. That vapor is supposed to go through that larger hose to the charcoal cannister where the fumes are removed by the charcoal. If that hose is plugged, like mine was, then the vapor has nowhere to go as you fill the tank and it increases pressure within the tank it causes the fuel dispenser nozzle to shutoff because it keeps detecting a pressure increase within the tank. That's my theory. I don't have the Hyundai design prints to confirm it. I had to tilt the charcoal dispenser so that the pellets came out of that larger hose port on the cannister. Like I said, even the port itself was full of pellets. So I poured out enough to clear the pellets that were in the hose port. I cleaned out the hose. Put everything back and went to go fill with gas. I filled that tank at full bore with no problem. Have the dealer or your mechanic check the ports and the hoses off the cannister. If they are filled with charcoal pellets, that is the problem. That should cost less than some of the fixes I have been reading about here.
