I filled up the other day and every time I drive it, I smell fresh inside. I checked all the hoses at the fill neck and under the hood. I see or smell nothing
Smells like gas

Fuel tank sender seal leak? It’s in the cargo area under carpet.
From what I’ve heard this is usually the filler tubes as there are several but others can elaborate.

Are you parking on an uphill slope? Mine did this when I first got it - it needed a gas cap. Never had an issue since.

No it’s on flat ground.
This happens to me after I fill up and make any left hand turns. Need to pull the cargo card and check for leaking lines. Add it to my list.

Thank you I’ll do that also this afternoon. I’m pretty much going to retighten all clampsThis happens to me after I fill up and make any left hand turns. Need to pull the cargo card and check for leaking lines. Add it to my list.
The clamps on the vapor separator are constant tension clamps, you can't really tighten them. But yes, checking those is a good idea. If it happens right after filling up with fuel, it could be the seal on the filler neck to the body - sometimes the automatic shutoff pumps put in too much fuel and it comes out the top. If that filler neck seal isn't good, the fuel gets inside the body behind the cargo panel and takes a while to evaporate.Thank you I’ll do that also this afternoon.

Awesome thank you. I’ll check everything I can. The card in the cargo area comes out easy. I’ll remove it next time I fill up and inspect.
