last saturday i filled up my new to me 06 denali and as i sat in the vehicle talking to a few friends i noticed the pump did not shut off and overflowed approximately 4-5 gallons on the ground as the truck was still running (i know, not the best idea ever) and now there is a lingering gas smell on the interior of the truck (i have thoroughly searched to see if it could have leaked inside but no luck, even ran it through the car wash to see if that would help, no luck) i have ran over a 1/4 of a tank of gas through it since and the smell will slowly go away as i drive but if it sits for a while or overnight it returns with a vengence. i am at my wits ends and this really is pissing me off considering ive only had it for 2 weeks. one guy told me it may have leaked into the evap canister (????) and if so, it needs to be replaced. i need any input before i just start throwing parts at the thing. also, there are no check engine lights or driveability problems (although it did die twice after i turned it off at the gas station after the spillage when i started to drive again, but nothing since)

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever get this resolved? The same thing happened to me a week ago and I can't get rid of the smell.

I just picked up an 01 Yukon. The previous owner said that it usually smells like gas after a fill, but I have filled it twice and have not had the issue yet........just waiting!

Doesn't the filler neck run through the interior on the driver side where the jack storage door is? I'd start there and follow it downto find the leak
