Default Gas smell

Seems to be coming from around gas fill area. Did NOT overfill tank or spill gas. Anyone had to replace the seal on the fill cap?

I haven't noticed any gas smells Colonel. Maybe it's just a fluke, and it will go away. Hope it's nothing serious my friend.

I hope so. Do not enjoy services at the dealer. Heading to VIR on Friday for the races. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Be careful here. I had the same problem on my zo6. Thank god my z was still under extended warranty and I had a great dealer. They even flew out a fuel systems expert from Dearborn to examine my car. After many trips back to the dealer they found the problem. The fuel tank on the drivers side was leaking at the sending unit. There is a recall out for the C/6.
