When I fill up vehicle of course with not over flowing or topping it off there is a strong smell of gas on driver side no signs of leak and smell is very noticeable in cabin as well. Smell is strong in garage when left in over night even when not filling up this issue has been there could have half a tank and maybe put additional 5 dollars to get to 3/4 tank issue is still there.
Due to use of plastics that tend to crack, am now experiencing issues with fuel pump on driver's side. Driving continues to produce gas smell. Extremely complicated fix that requires dropping gas tank and possibly transmission to reach fuel pump.
Last month when I filled the gas tank I had a strong oder of gas when I parked my car in the garage. Now I smell gas in the car as I drive it. I did not overflow the gas tank upon refill.
I have a very loud odor of gas coming from the car (2007 Corvette) after I fill it up with gas. I am unable to park it inside my garage because the smell of gas will fill my home. The smell of gas is only noticeable when the car is parked.
Service B. : 15682 gas smell; dealer telling me requires left fuel pump and crossover pipe and they will not pay for. This should be a recall as its very dangerous. I never got anything from Chevy regarding this issue. Have had smell issues for years. Have barely driven in 2.5 years because of issue.
Corvette has had a problem with fuel smell coming from the car after you fill the tank.this issue is very serious. 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. I can't park my C6 in my garage without it filling the entire garage with fumes so strong that I can't even keep my dogs in there. The vapors then seep into the house. The car is unsafe to drive, and unsafe to leave parked.
Anytime my fuel tank is more than half, there is a strong door of fuel. Its very strong than it seeps through the insides of the house my its dark in the garage
Began to notice a strong odor of fuel emitting from the garage. This would occur every time I filled up my vehicle and parked in the garage. Since my water heater is located in the garage and for the safety of my family, vehicle was moved outdoors. Received notice from GM that they were aware of issue and that repairs would be covered. Drove vehicle to local dealership, where I was told that the notice had expired. Wound up paying $2600 in repair cost.
Strong gas odor coming from rear drivers side near gas tank but no leaks anywhere to be found under the car. Fumes up the entire garage and in parts of the house. Seems very hazardous if ever there was a spark of some kind ever occurred! I really only notice this occurance when parked and slightly when driving with windows up.
My Corvette emits a very strong fuel smell both while driving and while stationary. It is most noticeable when the car is parked in the garage and shortly after driving. The issue is ongoing and occurs most frequently when the tanks are full or near full. The fumes are so strong in my garage that I get light headed and nauseous. I took the car to a dealer mechanic to have it looked at. Issue was identified as a leak in the left fuel tank. From the invoice I received "found fuel leak at left tank. Remove drive line and remove left tank. Found fuel module leaking. Replace module and tank hoses with drive line removed. Remove right tank and replace sending unit and all plastic hoses. Also necessary to replace left tank harness due to fuel contamination." This repair cost $3,300. The dealership would not discount any money off of the repair even though they acknowledged that the car was not driveable in its current state and would be a safety issue to operate or store. The mechanic told me that he sees many 2007 Corvettes in for this same issue. This is not an isolated case. I have seen many complaints logged about this issue. It seems like a recall needs to be done to solve this.
Could smell gas in my garage but didnt see any gas on the floor took it to my mechanic and he said fuel tank seems to have a leak but can see it! it seems to be on top of fuel tank. My Corvette has 46,285 miles on it. It seems to something like this is pretty dangerous setting in garage over night. It seems GM as on recall on this problem!
