Fuel Fumes

[Mat Benjamin]

2021 TB 5.3L  15000 mi

 

Over the last 2 weeks, I have been getting a strong fuel fume smell while driving.  I checked all around the truck with the motor running and cannot locate where it is coming from.  I see no leaks or fuel stains anywhere.  If I'm in motion the smell dissipates, but when I stop at a light for example, its very strong.  I saw there was a recall for this but it was with the 2019-2020 models and if I recall correctly it was for the 6.2L motor.  

 

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Possibly an exhaust leak a the collectors.  Had the same issue and replaced the gaskets and it stopped.

My 2014 6.2 had a fine crack in the fuel rail, took multiple visits to the dealer to find it, had to put dye in the fuel and finally found the issue, couldn't see anything as it burned off immediately.

I had a leaky injector at 10k miles that took multiple visits to find, dealer cut my wiring loose and let it hang I complained they whined and said they would order all new clips for fuel rail loom, I never heard a thing and ended up tie wrapping them myself.

SAME dealer that couldn't get the oil filter tight and it leaked all over my new driveway, long haired guy with tattoos on his face and neck was the woRker on  my truck, I called him out and bitched and he said "faulty filter"  LMAO I have never went back to LITHIA Chevrolet in Spokane Wa and never will.

Grossly incompetent in the service dept.
