In owners' own words
The contact owns a 1991 Chevrolet Camaro. There is a strong smell of gasoline coming from the vehicle. The vehicle has not been inspected by a mechanic. The current mileage is 58,000 and failure mileage was 56,000. Updated 01/29/08 *bf the consumer stated the filler neck solder joint on the has tank has pin holes leak. Updated Fuel system, gasoline · reported at 56,000 miles
Fuel is leaking from the filler neck ever since I bought the car over two years ago. The car smells like fuel around the gas tank, and you can see gas running down the side of the tank from the filler neck. If the car is put in a garage, the garage will smell strongly of gasoline. This seems like a safety hazard. Fuel system, gasoline
1991 Chevy Camaro - there is a recall on this but when I call manufacturer's I am told there is not? When filling up with gas, once it hits near the top of the tank, gas spills all over in several areas under the vehicle. It is coming out of what looks like several small holes. Fuel system, gasoline
