Fuel Smell (odor)

[PLO5]

I have noticed a strong odor of fuel when I drive my vehicle for an extended amount of time, for example 2-3 hours of running around town. I live in Vegas, temps are 100 degrees. When I come home and park it in the garage, in a minute or two there is this strong smell of fuel, like fuel is on the ground or leaking. There are no leaks.

When driving the car and doing errands that last 10-15, 20 minutes, the smell is never there, only on prolonged driving with stops and starts.

Anybody experience this yet? Thanks

Nope...the only time I've smelled fuel was when I accidentally stepped in some.

Make sure you do not overfill your tank. If problem persists, contact your dealer, since it is not normal.

Tank has not been overfilled, usually it's about 1/2 to 3/4 tank when I have noticed this. I'll just have to see if this is a pattern and see what the dealer says.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have had my Genesis for a year with no issues, but the past few days there is an odor of fuel in the interior if the car is idling for a few minutes. I also noticed that it smelled like fuel in my garage - but there is no leak beneath the vehicle.

I definitely did not overfill the last time I put gas in..

I had a very strong fuel smell in the car when driving it last week - smelled like someone dumped gas in the back seat. I have not noticed it since, so I am hoping it was just fuel on the road or another vehicle. However, the smell seemed too strong to be on the road or another vehicle. Hoping I never notice it again.
