There is a leak at the top of my fuel tank. Whenever the tank is 3/4 fill or greater, fuel sloshes out of the top of the tank and pools on top of the tank and sometimes drips down onto the exhaust.. parking the car overnight in the garage is filling my garage with fuel vapors and I am concerned the dripping fuel may be a fire risk.

Bad fuel smell after filling up vehicle. Did not overflow or top off. Smell fuel in cabin while car is in motion and stopped.

Received an extended warranty letter from chev in mid Feb 2017 stating my vehicle may experience fuel leak and if leak is suspected to have vehicle inspected at chev dealer and if vehicle has been in service for less than 10 yrs and has less than 120,000 miles, chev will repair at no charge. Vehicle was inspected at dealer (due to fuel oder) and condition was confirmed. Dealer will not honor repair and quoted cost at $1338. Chev customer service stated that vehicle was in service since Nov 2006 and extended warranty was no longer valid because it had exceeded the 10 yr parameter by 3 mo when issue was reported. Mileage was at 55,552. I believe the issue was present before Nov 2006 but the fuel odor was not detected until the letter was received and until I checked the vehicle (both stationary and in motion). This vehicle is generally not driven in winter months. I also believe that any fuel leakage is a safety hazard and that the leakage is caused by a design deficiency and affected vehicles should be recalled and repaired free of charge by the manufacturer regardless of delivery date (due to design deficiency). I will send a copy of this hazard report to Chevrolet. Their case # is 8-2782315093. Thank you for your assistance.

I found the following description on the Corvette forum. It describes the symptoms of my car exactly. Fuel leaks out the top of the tanks, and will then drip down the back side onto the hot exhaust. If ignored this could result in a fire and possible death. If parked overnight in a garage, the vapor will fill the garage and could easily be triggered into an explosion and fire from a gas water heater or other ignition source.

Strong fuel odor when tank is above half full. The car was parked in garage next to gas water heater. Woke to house with strong gasoline odor. Can only put 6 gallons of gas in car. Car is a fire hazard

Very strong fuel (gasoline) smell without topping off of the tank no drips or pools forming under the car. Afraid to park in the garage.

After having all the fluids changed at my Chevrolet dealer, which included a transmission flush and differential service (which happen to be right by the fuel tanks) a strong fuel smell was evident when parked in garage. Took vehicle back to dealer who determined spider cracking at fuel output elbow on top of fuel pump causing fuel leak when fuel pump on. Replaced fuel pump and crossover feed lines. $1720

Fuel smell coming from car while in garage. No indication of fuel on floor only fuel smell. Worried about water heater igniting fumes and causing a fire in the house.

There has been heavy fumes smell coming from my 07 Corvette when the tank is fuel it is very unsafe to park it in my garage because of the strong odor and my water heater is located in the garage. I have to have the tank on low if I want to park it inside. The smell also comes inside the vehicle when it's full this hazard need to be address before the matter lead to someone getting hurt. Whatever the problem is I would think GM needs to go back and check the fuel tank and the components attach to it for cracks that not supposed to happen.

While parked in garage strong fuel odor emits from fuel filler pipe and gas cap.. noticeable after a few hours and particularly noticeable if car cover is used. Most predominate when tank is full or nearly so.

I have a strong smell of gasoline in and around mu 2007 Corvette C6. It is caused by a defective plastic fuel pump where the fuel line exits the top of the pump on the outside of the fuel tank. It always cracks and leaks fuel. This happens to all factory installed original C6 fuel pumps. The GM replacement pump is manufactured with a different type of plastic and is not suppose to crack. My 2007 Corvette has approx. 44,000 miles and has this extremely dangerous and life threaten issue. And may even burn down my garage also. Why has this pump not been recalled by GM" are you waiting until enough lives and property is lost??"

My 2007 Corvette has an issue with fuel leaking from the top of the fuel tank, and dripping around exhaust area. Anytime tank is filled over 1/2 tank, I can smell fuel fumes very badly.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

My Corvette has extremely strong gas smell coming out of it, especially when it's not moving. The smell is extremely bad, which makes me worry about possible combustion.

Noted a spontaneous fuel smell in cabin behind drivers seat after returning to parked vehicle. At first assumed that the tank may have been overfilled. The strong fumes persisted in the cabin and also when approaching the vehicle until the fuel tank emptied below the 1/2 mark. Brought vehicle to Chevy dealer just before warranty expiration. I was told it was leak tested and they could not find any leak. I have since taken it to X3 independent mechanics spending over $600 and none have been able to correctly diagnose or correct the problem. The fumes only occur when the tank is filled just past the 1/2 full mark. I have been told by the mechanics that the tanks would need to be dropped to find the problem this would be at a minimum cost of 1600.00$. needless to say I have been driving my vehicle 1/2 full for over 2years now. Of course I feel my vehicle may still be potentially dangerous, not only the exposure to the fumes but also the risk of a fire or explosion and I feel that the manufacturer is being negligent by not admitting there is a problem with their design flaw. From what I understand in the Corvette forum the design has been changed in newer models.
