2013 Chevrolet Corvette

IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL FROM THE OUTSIDE OF MY CAR. NOW THAT SMELL IS OCCURRING INSIDE THE CAR ALSO EVERTIME I FILL THE TANK. I HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL DATABASES ON LINE TO SEE IF OTHER CARS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES.IT IS BECOMING STRONGER NOW THAN BEFORE, HOWEVER I CANNOT DETECT A LEAK UNDER THE CAR. I WILL BE CONTACTING A DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT IS NOT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN ANOTHER STATE. THE PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED WITH OTHER VEHICLES LIKE THIS MAKE AND MODEL IS A SMALL LEAK AT THE VALVE ON THE FUEL TANK DUE TO A BROKEN OR CRACKED CONNECTOR OF SOME SORT.

I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN MY GARAGE AND IT WAS ALSO INSIDE THE CAR. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF A SPECIAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM GM, DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS: 2007 - 2013 CORVETTE: SERVICE BULLETIN: 15682 PRIMARY TANK MODULE FLANGE FUEL AND VAPOR LEAKS SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 15682 PRIMARY TANK MODULE FLANGE FUEL AND VAPOR LEAKS REFERENCE NUMBER: N150682 RELEASE DATE: JULY 2016 CONDITION SOME 2007 TO 2009 MODEL YEAR CADILLAC XLR AND 2007 TO 2013 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET CORVETTE VEHICLES MAY HAVE A CONDITION WHERE A FUEL ODOR IS DETECTED, FUEL DROPLETS APPEAR BELOW THE LEFT-HAND FUEL TANK WITH FUEL GAUGE LEVEL ABOVE 1/2, OR A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMINATES DUE TO A LEAK PATH IN THE LEFT-HAND FUEL PUMP MODULE FLANGE.
