I also have a 2001 Venture and have had this same problem for years. It is most apparent when the outside temperature is high, and the tank has recently been filled. It seems to be coming from under the vehicle and I was wondering if it is some sort of valve that opens to vent and release pressure. If anyone has any other info please post. Hey, I had the gas smell for a while and it was until I checked the fuel lines coming from the tank along the frame I notice a wet spot close to the fuel filter. The problem in my 2000 Ventura was the Fuel filter conections, I replace the fuel filter and problem solved. (fuel filter about $ 14.00 1/2 hour charged in a shop $30.00-$40.00) estimated cost.

Why might you smell gas fumes outside of a 1998 Chevrolet Venture?

I had this problem with my '98 Venture. If you look above the left rear wheel where the gas filler line comes down toward the tank you'll see that all of the road grit gets sprayed up onto the rubber fuel pipe, and eventually abrades it away, causing not only fumes to be apparent, but fuel spills when you're at the gas station, the MIL lamp to come on etc.Pretty simple fix, even if they have to drop the tank to replace the fuel hose. The mechanic also put some aluminum sheet around the rubber tank line for me to protect it in the future.
