Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / April 2008Where does gas overflow go?
I have no idea what happened to the pump, but it didn't shut off and I was in conversation with someone (I wasn't pumping the gas, though). When I turned and looked, it was spraying gas all over the top of my C5 and overflowing all down the side. I ran home and washed it, but I see there is a hole in the cover area where gas runs inside the car. Where exactly does it go and is there something I should do to clean it off inside? Will it cause damage if I don't? If I need to do something, what and how do I get to it? Thanks, H > I have no idea what happened to the pump, but it didn't shut off and I was > in conversation with someone (I wasn't pumping the gas, though).

That would make sense and be the best case scenario. The hole is a half cirlce in the black plastic fill area, but it doesn't look like it has a hose attached. I'll look under the car.

Gasoline evaporates and dries up real fast. You are not going to see it two days later. >> That would make sense and be the best case scenario. >> The hole is a half cirlce in the black plastic fill area, but it doesn't [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Gasoline evaporates and dries up real fast.

Though, I can't see GM allowing that to happen when because of the hole, they know it would happen. I can't see a hose, but there has to be one.

The hose feeds a spill back into the filler tube and it will not leach into the fiber, that went by the wayside in 1984. > The hose feeds a spill back into the filler tube and it will not leach > into the fiber, that went by the wayside in 1984. Cool thanks!
