i am having the same problem as of both. starts rough, smell of gas is strong inside/outside of vehicle.. i have been searching many different site and have found some different answers, but i just need verification on what it might possibly.
1. the gas cap is of course cross threaded.
- checked this it is fine
2. also in norther states where there is snow their has been a couple of complaints of rust on the gas tank, and also on the gas tank neck.
- have not checked that yet..

I noticed a strong fuel smell after driving the vehicle. Dealer diagnosed the fuel
pump module had corroded and is leaking. This car currently has a pending investigation with the NHTSA (EA 07-009). I mentioned this to the dealership and GM and have gotten no assistance with this $900 repair.

I found (through gas spilling out of the back of my blazer) a crack in the gas cap entry to the tank. Covered under a 10 yr 100K warranty. TSB-07799A is the policy number.
Any chevy dealer will fix this if it's the problem.
