Each time I filled the gas tank there is a gas odor. The passenger side tank on my 2004 Corvette showed signs that gas had been leaking from the top. After driving a while the odor and leak stopped. Replacing the tank was the only way of correcting the problem and avoiding a fire.

Strong smell of fuel and occasional dripping of gas. I am on vacation in Illinois from Arizona and am now facing a $1500 bill just to get back home. I see GM doesn't care so maybe Ford would like a vette.

Smell of fuel inside the house after parking my Corvette in the attached garage about 3 hours after returning home.

I just noticed the posting about the fuel leaks in 2004 Corvettes. I have been noticing a strong fuel smell in my garage after driving my Corvette. The smell subsides after a day or two, and no evidence of leaks can be seen under the car. Perhaps there should be a recall to have these checked out.

Purchases 2004 Corvette. When I filled up gas tank, fuel odor was evident. The gas smell filled my garage and went into the house. I took to Chevrolet dealer, who said that a smoke test showed a fuel leak near where the tank is located. A more detailed diagnosis would cost about $1000, and any work would be added to that.

Our 2004 Corvette with 27,630 miles suddenly began leaking gas fumes so severely in our garage that we were concerned we could have an explosion. We also could not sleep in our bedroom at the opposite end of our house due to the gas fumes. We had not hit anything or had anything unusual happen to our vehicle and we had a GM dealer in chandler, AZ determine there was no damage to the undercarriage of the car. The dealer determined that the driver's side gas tank had cracked near the top of the tank. We contacted GM customer support and after we waited a week, with the car at the dealer's lot, GM determined they would do nothing! they refused to either recall the Corvette, admit there is a defect in their gas tanks or assist financially in replacing the gas tank. We then had the GM dealer replace the tank at a cost of $1,991. This price is after the dealer reduced the cost by giving us a 10% goodwill price reduction. Due to the serious safety defect in GM's gas tank and crossover system, we believe GM should immediately recall the 2004 Corvettes as various other owners have reported that their driver side gas tank has cracked and leaked fuel and gas fumes. This is a safety recall and definite epa issue. The vehicle and our garage certainly could have exploded and the vehicle was undriveable while leaking fumes. It certainly could not have passed an emissions test. Is GM waiting for an explosion before they act?

I have a 2004 Corvette coupe and I am having a gas smell or leak from my crossover connector on my gas tank. After reading many articles from other Corvette owners I know that this is a serious problem and should be a recalled item. This is a safety hazard as the gas tank and leak comes right over my dual exhaust and could cause a fire.

Check engine light on - strong fuel odor interior and exterior - gas leaking under driver side on garage floor after fillup. Mileage 17,940. Certified Corvette dealer mechanic remarked that seals were deemed flawed. GM needs to issue safety and environmental recall and reimburse. Had to have fuel tank replaced - cost totaled $2,500.59! please investigate this dangerous safety issue and force GM to recall and reimburse.

My 2004 Corvette Z06 leaked gasoline from the hose that interconnects both fuel tanks. The tanks and connector were replaced by extended warranty but they were replaced with one of similar identical design. After doing some research it seems like this was not a one case even M any 2004 owners report the same issue. Considering the risk of the problem a more appropriate redesign should be performed.
