When tank is filled with fuel there is a tremendous strong gas smell. This smell lasts until about half the fuel is used. Gas cap is proper and unaffected. The smell is strong regardless if the vehicle is setting still or in motion. Seems to be an ongoing issue with the 2008 C6 Corvettes.

Top of fuel tank covered with raw fuel. Don't know exact source yet as car is in repair shop now. Will follow up with more later. Depending on fuel level in the tank, gas fumes are heavy or light. Possible fire or explosion if left in confined space.

'takata recall' the car have strong smell of gas fumes when over a half tank of gas. Cannot park in grage or sat in car for fumes. Was told recall has expired. Don't understand if GM knows this is a safety issue that they would not cancel the recall. Need help contacting GM head office.

There is a very strong fuel smell coming from the rear driver side of the car. It can be heavily concentrated inside the car if the windows are up and the fuel tank is full. With the car parked in my closed garage you could smell fuel inside my house. No fuel leak is visible. The smell us reduced as fuel level decreases. Excessive fuel consumption rate is also observed. The fuel smell is present at all times but is even worse when the car is in motion.

Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=P9E3md122mg 2008 Corvette coupe developed a strong smell of gas which is strongest on drivers side of cabin. There are no visible leaks, no gas pooling and there was no accident. There appear to be hundreds to thousands of other owners who are experiencing this exact issue due to a faulty part on the gas tank (see video). It is not due to a number of miles driven but appears to be a part that is defective over time due to brittle plastic. The gas smell is incredibly strong and makes the car undrivable unless the windows are always fully down. Also generally unsure if the car is going to explode due to the continuing pooling of fuel over time.

There is a very strong gas smell inside the car but no obvious leaks. The car does not appear to be using gas faster than anticipated. It smells strongest on the drivers side. Research has shown many owners had a problem like this with the fuel tank or fuel line. There was no obvious moment this started or event that caused this problem. The car just started smelling like gas.

Strong fuel smell when filling car up. Lasts for days or until fuel tank gets below 1/2. no noticeable leak on the ground under. This is strongest in the left rear area where you fill the tank up and in the cabin. I believe this is related to Chevrolet bulletin 15682. Highly dangerous, near exhaust pipes. Likely cause of fire.

Primary tank module flange fuel and vapor leaks...instead of GM making a recall they are calling it an extended special warranty. The problem is I just recently purchased the vehicle and noticed if the fuel tank was over half full the fumes were unbearable. Its impossible to park inside my garage. The smell in the inside of the car is very strong. The recall (extended warranty) states that its only good for 10 years or 120K miles, but since my 2008 Corvette was initially sold on 10/25/17 and only has 40K miles they have refused to take care of this expensive, dangerous issue. They have acknowledged the safety concern, but have capped the time it can be repaired. Which makes zero sense. If its dangerous, its dangerous. I bought the car 12/2017 and immediately noticed the problem, but since I missed the deadline by less than 60 days they will not take responsibility.

This is a follow up to a complaint I filed on Dec 26 2017 complaint number 11056152. It seems I received a recall letter in June of 2016 about a gas smell problem with certain Corvettes. The letter said if you are having that issue take your car to a dealer for repair. In 2016 I didn't have that issue and filed the letter. Now in 2017 I have that problem but the local Chevrolet dealer informed me that my car was only covered until last Aug. This repair is approximately $5000. How can General Motors exempt themselves from a potential explosive condition from a faulty gas valve. They were aware there valves were failing and hoping they could get the effected automobiles beyond the 10 year limit. If they truly had their customers safety in mind the would have instructed all owner of the Corvettes with this faulty gas valve to have their car repaired in June of 2016, before the "smell" occurred. I cannot believe they are not responsible for such a dangerous problem. I cannot park my car in my garage with out leaving a door open for fear of a fire or worse. This was not caused by any thing an owner is responsible for. Not lack of proper maintenance, or vehicle abuse. I've tried calling General Motors but only get some computer that screens calls. Its very frustrating. I hope some one at NHTSA can give me some advice and my issue some consideration. Thank you

When I fill the gas tank there is a strong smell of gasoline in and around the car, when parked in the garage it be comes overwhelming. I'm afraid it could be a fire hazard. I researched the info and was advised to go to this web site. Im trying to find out if there is a recall to fix this problem.

Only 36,000 miles on this car and there is a very strong gas smell coming from the exterior of the car when it's parked. I am afraid to drive this car. The gas smell started about a week ago. I did not overfill the tank, and the gas cap is secure. Taking it to the dealer this week to find out what's wrong, this is an extreme fire hazard.

There is a gas leak, probably from the fuel pump. I can smell gas odor. I'm worried that the gas fumes is close to the water heater and don't want an explosion to happen. I can smell it when I'm inside of the car and driving.
