Default fuel smell

every time after gassing up my 2002 vette I get a strong smell of gas untill I go a few miles or so.I bougth it from a chevy dealer a few months ago & they checked it out & told me they couldnt find any leaks I not sure they even tested it or what because it was only a 30 day warranty., I just replaced the gas cap but that didnt help. any one have an idea about this problem?thanks COPPER1

Vent valve or evap cannister might need to be changed.

Not sure how the filler neck attaches. But if there is a rubber coupler somewhere on the filler neck maybe it has a small crack in it.

Do you only smell it after a fill-up?

I only get the fuel smell after gasing up, it goes away after I drive about 30 to 40 miles. thanks copper1
