2008 Chevrolet Corvette

I have a 2008 Chevrolet Corvette. The current mileage (as of July 1, 2023) is 26,200 miles. I have a strong odor of gas every time I fill the gas tank to above 1/2 the tank. This is a fairly common condition, as evidenced by the hundreds of NHTSA related complaints, and the Corvette forums. Two Chevrolet Dealerships told me I need a new Fuel Pump. The most recent diagnosis at a Dealership was on June 5, 2023. They want $3,500.00 to replace the fuel pump. Chevrolet realized there is a faulty part causing the fuel odor condition. Chevrolet issued a few Bulletins about it, and offered to make the repair at no cost if you met certain conditions. I’ve enclosed the Letter that was sent to me in 2016. As you can see, it’s about the odor of fuel and fuel droplets appearing below the left-hand fuel tank when the fuel gauge is above ½. The Letter contained an underlined sentence that directed me not to take the vehicle to the dealer unless I had the above-mentioned condition. Verbatim, it says: Do not take your vehicle to your Chevrolet dealer as a result of this letter unless you believe that your vehicle has the condition as described above. Being an honest person, I did not take my Corvette to the Dealer at that time because I did not detect an odor of gas at that time. Now, a few years later, I’m experiencing the described condition on my 2008 Corvette with mileage of 26, 200. If this condition surfaces around the time mileage reaches 26,000, I can only assume that my car’s mileage was too low back when the…letter to repair… was in effect My primary complaint is that Chevrolet should not have had "time constraints". The mileage limit is 120,000, but the time constraint is around 2018. I feel Chevrolet should repair this known problem at No Cost primarily due to the fact that the vehicle has less than 120,000 miles on it. I'm attaching 2 documents produced by Chevrolet. Thank you.

Strong fuel smell coming from vehicle. car sits in garage overnight and emits fuel smell in the garage to the point i have to keep the garage cracked. smell is most noticable after fill up but smell still continues after 100 or so miles. i believe fuel is leaking somewhere because the tank has moisture running down the back side.
