Some Chevrolet Tahoe owners report experiencing gas leaks on the motor while driving, which may indicate a potential issue with the fuel pump, especially following a previous fuel regulator replacement. These owners often notice fuel leaking onto the top of the gas tank, suggesting a faulty fuel pump. Additionally, a strong fuel smell on the driver's side and inside the cabin, particularly during operation, can signal a fuel system problem. In cases where there is no odor under the hood or inside the gas cap compartment but a noticeable smell within the cabin, it may still relate to a fuel system issue, potentially involving the fuel pump. Owners are advised to check for leaks from the lines running from the top of the tank to the engine to identify the source of the problem. Prompt inspection of the fuel pump is essential to ensure the safety and proper functioning of the vehicle.
