THE OTHER DAY I SMELLED GAS IN MY GARAGE. THE SMELL IS BAD UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL DROPS BELOW 1/2 TANK. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT FIND A LEAK.

THE OTHER DAY I SMELLED GAS IN MY GARAGE. THE SMELL IS BAD UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL DROPS BELOW 1/2 TANK. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT FIND A LEAK. I MENTIONED IF THIS IS COVERED UNDER THE 80K MILE EMISSION WARRANTY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE SOLUTION IS TO DROP THE TANKS BECAUSE THE ISSUE MAY LIE IN THE FUEL PUMP AND LEAKING TANKS ON THE TOP. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING LEAKING FUEL TANKS AND THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT PAY FOR A FAULTY ITEM BEING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I KNOW THIS WAS AN ISSUE ON THE C5 CORVETTE AND GM REPLACED THOSE TANKS FREE OF CHARGE. THE C6 FUEL CELL IS THE SAME AS THE C5 AND IT APPEARS LIKE ITS ALSO FAULTY AS WELL. PLEASE REVIEW ALL C6 CORVETTES (2005-2013) COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR A FIX BY GM TO COVER THE COSTS. *TR

ALMOST EVERY TIME I FUEL THE VEHICLE GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE PUMP STOPS. THE FIRST TIME , GAS WAS GUSHING OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR ONTO THE GROUND BECAUSE THE PUMP DID NOT STOP. LUCKILY IT DID NOT CATCH FIRE. THIS IS ON A NEW 2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z 06 ! IT IS VERY CRITICAL THAT I DO NOT TRY TO PUT IN MORE GAS WHEN THE PUMP STOPS OR IT SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. MY 2001 CORVETTE Z06 NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THIS NEVER RESULTS IN A FIRE , I DO NOT WANT TO SEE MY CAR BURN. THANK YOU EDWARD LIPMAN *TR
