    Default 2015 tahoe

    Got in the wife's car today and pushed the button to crank, took a while to crank and the smell of gas was very strong after cranking. We arrived at destination and the gas smell is very strong. Any ideas?2015 tahoe

    Can you see gas leaking under the truck?

    2015 Tahoe is direct injected. If it took a while to crank sounds like you got a high press metal fuel line to injector leaking.

    62000 miles so I doubt it. But honestly don't know off the top of my head what the warranty is.

    Damn, 62,000 miles on a 2015 is a lot. I've got 24,000 miles on my 2015 and I'm taking it to the dealership to get some shit straightened out next weekend.

    Powertrain won't cover it if it's the fuel feed line to injectors or injector o-rings. If it is a fuel evap issue the 8 year 80K emissions warranty should cover it.

    I would get someone to eyeball it and see if you have a fuel leak on top of the engine. If not pull codes and see if you have a P0455 or similar fuel evap large leak etc code.

    I've seen #8 injector with cut o-rings on 2 Silverado's with direct injection. I've had my ass kicked by a P0455 code on a older Tahoe. That Tahoe came in with hard start/long start after getting fuel. Smoked evap system never found a leak. Replaced purged valve, no help. Long story short it ended up being a clogged vent on the fuel tank.

    Google nor youtube offered any help.

    I could have told you that's what it was. Rookie mistake...

    no shit. I thought po455 right away.

    You would think Tommy could at least respond for him on the internet to make him look smart(er).
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
