There is a FUEL LEAK around the filler tube on the gas tank. I have been working with Chevrolet for 2 months, but they say the part is being redesigned because of the problem and will not be available for at least 4 months. This is an old problem and Chevy is just now redesigning the part. I received a letter limiting their liability to 10 years or 120,000 miles in July 2016, but I am just now experiencing the problem. Neither the dealer or the Chevrolet Consumer Department are willing to provide any financial assistance. Can you help get them to cover this problem? Consumer stated he would like to cancel the complaint.

The car has a strong smell of gasoline in the cabin and garage when the tank is about 1/2 full. I replaced gas cap with a GM OEM gas cap but I can still smell the fuel. These gas fumes can be really dangerous in the garage.

So recently bought a 2008 Corvette C6 from rick hendricks Chevrolet, and have been smelling the gas smell since I got it, I can smell it outside the car, in the cockpit all the time if it's over half a tank, I look under the car and there's gas all under it. Seems like it's coming from the top of the fuel tank, my fuel mileage isn't that great because of it. Smell is constant, until it's below half a tank.

My car had a heavy gas smell. I took it to my mechanics at briggs Firestone in oroville, ca and after they diagnosis they informed me about a special coverage notification from Chevrolet #15682-03 ( primary tank flange fuel and vapor leak). I purchased my car in 2018, but was not aware of any problems. There was never a recall issued. I've called Chevrolet and was told I'd hear from a supervisor at 2pm on Monday 4/12/2021. I just called again, and again I was told that a mgr would call me back tomorrow. I've waited 50 yrs to buy my dream car, and being a viet nam vet, I'm definitely tired of getting the run around. If a gas tank leak is not a safety hazard, what is? briggs phone # is 530-533-9372 if you would like to talk to them.

Fuel leaking from tank after filling with gas

- San Jose, CA, USA

After filling my C6 Corvette and driving it, I'm smelling fuel once I park the vehicle in my garage. The next day I can still smell it.

Have fuel leaking from the drivers side tank, not always just when I fill up the tank. When I walk into the garage there is a strong odor of gas and when I take a look under the car there is a stain under the left side fuel tank. I lifted the back end off the car on jack stands and I could see drops of fuel coming from the cover. When I took the cover off for a closer look the cover was soaked in gasoline. Ive had the car for a few years now but I dont drive it much.I believe it was like this with the previous owner as well.

- Mobile, AL, USA

Purchased my 2008 Corvette new and after 50K miles the the cab filled with raw gas fumes, the drivers side fuel tank leak from the top. The tank and pump were replaced. 8,000 mile later the sending units went out. Tanks were dropped and sending units replaced at my expense. Less than 30,000 miles later same tank leak. Now GM doesn't have replacement tanks and the manufacture is saying maybe in 4 months. My vet has already been at the dealer for over 3 months. Ridiculous! manufacture defect for sure on a item thar should last forever. Very dangerous.

After filling up my 2008 Chevrolet Corvette the car has a distinct gas smell when walking up to it. The smell is strong but goes away while driving it and is not that strong once parked. After sitting for a few hours I come back and the scent is back. It seems to only emit this gasoline smell when the fuel tank is filled over half full. It has done this since I took ownership of the car in December 2020, and could have been going on for a while before that.
