Consumer Description

LEAVING SERVICE STATION AFTER FILLING CAR WITH FUEL GAS FUMES WERE FILLING THE CAR. PARKED IT IN GARAGE AND NEXT MORNING GARAGE STUNK OF GAS FUMES. BACKED CAR OUT OF GARAGE AND SAW NO FUEL LEAKING BUT FUMES STILL VERY BAD IN CAR. CALLED LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS. HUSBAND TOOK CAR TO AUTO SHOP AND PUT ON HOIST, WHERE A WET SPOT WAS FOUND. MECHANIC SAID THE CONNECTOR TUBE BETWEEN THE TWO GAS TANKS WAS WET FROM THE GASOLINE. NO WAY TO TAKE A PHOTO BECAUSE THE AREA TO LOOK UP AND SEE THE CONNECTOR IS SO SMALL.
