Anyone else park their truck in the garage after a fill up (no top off) and next day go in garage and get hit with gas fumes?

Gas fumes after fill up

My recollection was the recall happened right before my manufacturing date. Let’s put it this way, my vin was never tagged with it. But you bring up a good point. I do have the factory spray in bed liner. Although it only seems to be an issue in that first overnight after a fill up. And it seems to be a recent development.

May just be an EVAP vent issue. If you're still under warranty, Ask the dealer to diag for "Fuel smell after sitting", they should run an EVAP test and that would rule it out.

Do you stop filling at the first click of the pump? I don't have my truck yet, but others have reported it when topping off another click or two - the pressurized hybrid system does not like that. I believe it overwhelms the canister.

Read my post again and you will see I said that I don't top it off.

That's what I get for reading before morning coffee. I would see if you dealer can do an evap test then, as others stated here. Sounds like the fuel tank issue or perhaps a faulty canister.

I had the fumes issue when filing up.
I tighten the two stainless steel clamps connection the filler tube to the tank. The area stayed wet with fuel until I went through two cycles of tightening the clamps and learning to not overfill by stopping the fuel delivery after the first pump handle click.

I never use more than the first pump click. I wonder if I'm having this issue more with the one gas station pump. I'm going to stick with a different gas pump until I get back to the dealer.

Hey I missed it too. Context matters. Wasn't too sure what no top off meant in that context before I scrolled some more.
Evening coffee here I come...
It's definitely something to monitor. Throw a piece of big cardboard underneath the filler neck and fuel tank to be safe and check for leaks. If you continue to notice the smell I'd get it checked out.
I'm just glad you issued the public service advisory: Don't top off at the pump. One click, done.

Learn something new for when I get my Hybrid. Don't top off.

Really even with many newer cars people shouldn't be "topping off"- they're over-pressurizing the system and some of that is going right back into the air....

For what it's worth, I switched up to a different gas station on the last fill up, and didn't experience this issue.
