I was constantly smelling a strong odor of gas coming from the inside/outside of my 2015 Chevy Tahoe. When I purchased the vehicle in 10/23 everything appeared fine. I researched the internet to determine what the problem could be & found dozens of similar situations. People saying the fuel line rubs the undercarriage of the vehicle causing a pin hole size in the fuel line causing it to leak gas. Currently my vehicle is in the shop and the problem is TBD.
The high pressure fuel line from the fuel pump to engine sustained a pinhole leak over the fuel tank. Fuel leaked over top of tank and ran down front drivers side front of tank. Discovered the leak after noticing strong fuel odor inside vehicle. Took to shop. The fuel line is installed as so it will rub undercarriage of vehicle. This is what happened to mine. This is a factory install and the lines are doomed to fail because of this. The excessive contact rubs holes into the lines. This seems to be a common problem with the 2015, according to my research. There are hundreds of these same complaints with this year listed all over repair sites on the internet. I believe this needs looked into, as flammable fuel leaking suddenly can be a hazard.
Started smelling gas fumes. Notices gas dripping from under vehicle leaving puddle under vehicle drivers side. Safety due to gas leak under vehicle. Brought to balise Chevrolet springfieled Massachusetts. Leak confirmed from top of tank. Removed fuel tank and found that the feeding hose has a hole due to it rubbing on the tank recommended replacing fuel sending unit, ring and hoses due to mileage. Which is only 114088. Fuel pump, module unit ring, 2 hoses replaced. There were no warning lamps, messagesor other symptoms prior to failiure.

Whiletherattleisoccurring, theS-shapeportionofthefuelfeedline, rightinfrontof the tank, will be vibrating / rattling. Condition 2 Some customers may comment on a fuel leak. Diagnosis that the fuel leak is originating from the fuel feed line at the molded-in clip on top of tank. Cause The rattling, ticking noise may be caused by the check valve in the low pressure fuel feed jumper line at the engine not fully seating, allowing pressure pulses from the high pressure side back into the low pressure side of the fuel system. These pressure pulses could cause the S-shaped portion of the fuel feed line, in front of the tank, to vibrate and/or rattle If the S-shaped portion of the fuel line rattles over a period of time, the fore-aft motion in the line could result in wear. This wear could result in a fuel leak where the line is secured into the molded-in clip on the tank.
I bought the vehicle from Dan Cummins dealership and a few months later started to smell gasoline got it checked vehicle replaced the gas line it was leaking
The fuel feed hose that tracked on top of the gas tank rubs against a portion of the tank and a pinhole sized hole gets created. Anytime the vehicle is on or fuel pump pressurizes the line, fuel is sprayed all beneath the vehicle. Gm has made a -??fix-?? to the line by adding a shroud to the updated part. Part number 84200271 is the updated part. I contacted Martin Chevrolet in crystal lake Illinois and was advised since my vehicle was out of warranty nothing was covered. Spraying fuel due to bad engeeniering is as unsafe as it gets.
Came home and could smell gas. Had just filled up so ignored it. Next day, just pulling into driveway, husband could see gas pouring out the bottom below the drivers seat area.. fuel line split. Had to have it towed to dealership and paid nearly a grand to get that repaired. Warranty wouldn-??t cover it..
Fuel line at tip of gas tank is leaking. I see dozens of complaints online for others who say gas line to close to chassis, plastic and rubbing and causing a leak. I see some caused fires?
Starting on August 13, 2022, my 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe exhibited a harder than normal start condition prior to a drive of approximately 80 miles home from visiting a relative. The car drove normally on that trip. After that return home I parked the subject vehicle in the garage and emptied it of my belongings. I noticed a fairly strong gasoline smell and inquired with my wife if perhaps she had re-fueled our other vehicle and experienced any over fill. Shed said no, so I left the garage open to see if it would air out of the fuel smell. It did through the course of the afternoon so I closed the garage that evening. The next morning (August 14, 2022) we had an event to get to in the morning and were planning to take the subject vehicle. The vehicle again had a hard start issue and within 10 seconds of starting I could smell fuel while inside the vehicle with the windows up. I immediately stopped the ignition and looking under the subject vehicle. I saw gas flowing down the side of the fuel tank from above and dripping on the floor at a rapids rate of 2-3 drops per second. This continued for about 5-10 minutes gradually slowing down since the the ignition had been shut off and as the fuel pressure in the system was reduced. By the end there was a puddle of fuel about 1 ft in diameter on my garage floor under the vehicle. From that point and after any strong gasoline vapor smell had subsided, I decided the vehicle needed to be moved from the garage and parked on the street. I parked it on the street and decided I would take it to Marty Feldman Chevrolet immediately early in the morning of August 15, 2022, while roads were less busy. There was no warning light or indication prior to the leak. In some quick research, I found several concerns related to fuel line abrasion and fuel pump leaks/failures. Marty Feldman Chevrolet diagnosis/repair costs are documented in this complaint. Components are available for inspection.
Fuel supply line coming out of gas tank is leaking. Looked up on internet and found this to be a very common occurrence, with several pictures of Tahoe's sitting on the side of the road on fire. This is such a common issue on 2015 models that GM should recall and fix. We can't wait for a recall, I know that takes a lot of time. The Tahoe is my wife's ability to get to work and home, as she is the breadwinner in our family, I am on SSDI for total disability. We need someone or some organization to step up and assist us in getting this problem fixed and since it is a design flaw resulting in a serious safety issue, GM should be held responsible for the repair. Local mechanic found the problem after wife smelled strong odor of gasoline in garage where vehicle is parked, which happens to be directly below our bedroom, thus if a fire started in garage, with my health and mobility problems, we might not be able to escape. This is a serious problem, common with this model and I'm sure you've heard about it several times, please help us.
Fuel smell outside of the vehicle. About 3 months ago one part was replaced. Now the smell is back. Vehicle is at the mechanic so they can investigate further.
The pressure fuel line on top of the gas tank started leaking while driving and caused large puddles of gas under the car. Parked vehicle and unable to drive it due to gas leaking near exhaust.
Fuel is leaking from gas tank area. Major fire hazard. I am told this is due to a faulty fuel line securing issue which allows the fuel line to rub cuasing a leak and major fire hazard.
