I BEGAN TO NOTICE A WAS SMELLING FUEL IN MY CAR. AS IT GOT WORSE I WENT TO GRAPEVINE CHEVY IN GRAPEVINE, TX. THEY DID A SMOKE TEST AND FOUND A LEAK IN THE DRIVERS SIDE FUEL TANK. INITIALLY THEY BELIEVED THE TANK WAS CRACKED BUT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS CITING A NON-WARRANTY ISSUE. WELL AFTER THE LEAKING GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT YOU COULD SMELL IT INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING SO I DECIDED TO FIX IT MYSELF. WHEN I REMOVED THE TANK I FOUND THE FUEL PUMP SEALS RUPTURED. I REPLACE THE THING AND PROBLEM SOLVED. GM NEVER DID ANYTHING AT ALL TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR

I NOTICED MY FUEL TANK LEAKING FUEL ON THE FLOOR IN MY GARAGE, MY GARAGE SMELLING LIKE FUEL, AND INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION. I TOOK MY CAR TO A SHOP AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AND TANK (OUT OF WARRANTY) BECAUSE THE CAR WAS LEAKING FUEL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHERE THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTS TO THE FUEL TANK. *TR

THERE IS A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL IN MY CORVETTE AFTER FUELING UP. THE CABIN SMELLS LIKE RAW FUEL, AND IT PERMEATES THE GARAGE FOR A FEW DAYS. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO SUBSIDE AFTER THERE IS LESS FUEL IN THE CAR. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH FUEL, I COULD SMELL GAS INSTANTLY AND I THOUGHT THERE WAS A LEAK. UPON PARKING MY CAR IN THE GARAGE THE WHOLE GARAGE SMELLED OF FUEL. AFTER TWO DAYS THE SMELL WAS GONE BUT IT DOES APPEAR EVERY TIME I FILL THE CAR TO SOME DEGREE. IT COMES AND GOES NOW SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE FUEL TANK STARTED LEAKING AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. ANYTHING OVER 1/2 TANK (THE CORVETTE USES TWO FUEL TANKS, A DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE) WILL RESULT IN EXTREMELY STRONG FUEL ODORS AND GAS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. THE GAS PUDDLED ON TOP OF THE TANK, FROM LEAKING, COULD POTENTIALLY DRAIN OR FALL ONTO T…

THE DRIVER'S SIDE FUEL TANK STARTED LEAKING AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. ANYTHING OVER 1/2 TANK (THE CORVETTE USES TWO FUEL TANKS, A DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE) WILL RESULT IN EXTREMELY STRONG FUEL ODORS AND GAS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. THE GAS PUDDLED ON TOP OF THE TANK, FROM LEAKING, COULD POTENTIALLY DRAIN OR FALL ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST WHILE DRIVING CREATING AN ENORMOUS FIRE HAZARD. THE FUEL ODOR IS OVERWHELMING IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE, SAY A GARAGE, CREATING ANOTHER FIRE HAZARD WITH THE GAS FUMES. I AM FEARFUL TO EVEN DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT THAT THE WORST COULD HAPPEN AND THE CAR CATCH ON FIRE. *JS
