why does my Genesis G70 have a strong fuel odor after refueling?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shocks.

2. Inspect and Replace Fuel Filler Cap

• Remove the fuel filler cap and inspect for cracks or wear.
• If damaged, replace it with a new OEM or equivalent part.
• Ensure the cap seals properly when reinstalled.

3. Check Fuel Lines and Connections

• Use a socket set to remove any protective covers if necessary.
• Inspect fuel lines for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks.
• If leaks are found, replace the damaged fuel line using the appropriate replacement part.

4. Inspect and Replace Charcoal Canister (if necessary)

• Locate the charcoal canister, typically found near the fuel tank.
• Remove the mounting bolts with a socket set.
• Disconnect the hoses connected to the canister.
• Inspect the canister for cracks or signs of damage; replace if necessary.

5. Pressure Test the Fuel System

• Reconnect the battery terminal.
• Use a fuel pressure gauge to check the fuel system pressure.
• If pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and replace if malfunctioning.
