Re: gas odor
Sounds like a fuel leak or a bad charcoal canister. Either way, try posting
in a Chevy group, as they'll be able to answer your question better. Not
many of us here run Corsica's.

Sure. The miscellaneous group is just down a block or so from here, the
jeep group.
Check your gas cap. Number one cause. It could be something actually
wrong other than the gas cap, but start there.

Re: gas odor
1. take this to the chevy newsgroup
2. pull the codes.
3. fix the problem that the code says to fix. HINT the code says there is
trouble with the evaporative emissions control system -- you have a leak in
the gas vapor recovery system.
