Fuel pump module was leaking causing gasoline fumes. fuel pump module assembly replaced may 2019.
My 2005 corvette c6 coupe has a strong fuel smell coming from the back, driver's side fender well. fuel smell is present in the cabin and within 50' of the vehicle. driver's side fuel sending unit shows signs of leaking but fuel evaporates before hitting the ground. this is a common problem with corvettes and gm has issued a special service bulltin #15682 but only for corvettes by vin from 2007-2013. my vehicle has the exact same problem with the exact same parts but i am being told they will not cover it at this time. i was issued a case number (# 8-4417928449). i believe this to be a manufactures defect with high safety/environmental impact that should be corrected/paid for by gm...does not matter if the vehicle is running, driving or off.
Heavy fuel fumes when car is sitting static, there is no leaks, no spots under the car. the fumes are very heavy and it's impossible to park the car in the garage, i have spoken to about 09 corvette c6 owners and they have the same problem, dealer admits there is a problem, but gm will not allow them to repair it.
The fuel pump assembly is made of plastic. this plastic on fuel pump outlet has developed a small crack due to the inferior plastic, causing high pressure fuel to spray out, pool on top of tank, and drip down the side of the tank near the hot exhaust. apparently this has been a problem on multiple year c6 corvettes and gm doesn't not want to issue a recall.
Fuel leaks and fuel odors coming from the fuel tank, concerns of fire
Strong gas smell in vehicle after filling up the tank. gas smell stays with the car until the fuel tank is half empty. smell in the car when driving and stationary. this is a serious safety issue in corvettes.
After filling tank, strong smell of gas in passenger compartment, lingers for 10-15 minutes. second fill up after purchase.
The car leaks fuel. when parked over night it leaves a puddle of fuel in front of rear tire on driver side
Fuel tank is splitting filling cabin and garage with fumes.most noticeable after filling the tank full
My corvette has a problem with fuel smell coming from the car after filling the gas tank.
Strong gasoline order/fumes in cabin of car. smell seems to be coming from fuel tank area and not under hood.
With approximately 38,000 miles on my 2005 corvette, i began smelling gas fumes whenever i would fill the gas tank. the fumes would fill my garage and also leaked into my house. i took the car into the dealership. after about 7 weeks, they informed me that i needed to replace one of the gas tanks and the rear main seal, which cost $2,700. the night i picked my car up from the shop, i parked it in the garage. the next morning, my garage was once again filled with fumes, so i dropped the corvette off at the dealership and let them know that the problem was not fixed. another two weeks, the dealership called and said they couldn't find anything, so i picked up the car. i drove it for a week without any issue with gas fumes until i filled up the tank for the first time. that night, my garage and house were filled with gas fumes. i dropped the corvette off at the dealer the next morning (two weeks ago) and i have not heard back from them yet. the gas fume issue is obviously a fairly common and serious problem with corvettes, based on all of the complaints i have seen and my own experience. the vehicle is not safe to drive or park in a garage, and apparently the source of the issue is difficult to diagnose and repair. based on the numerous occurrences of this issue based on complaints from corvette owners, there should be a recall to fix this issue before people are injured or killed.
Gas overflows when an attendent trys to fill tank further after nozzle clicks gas flow inside fender and out above rocker panel melts sound deadening
There is a fuel leak from the fuel tank on my 2005 c6 corvette. you can smell it in the cabin of the vehicle when you're driving it. it's very dangerous to have it in confined areas like a garage near a water heater of any kind or just any type of ignition source. there is not a manufacturer recall yet but there should be one shortly. from all the corvette owners blog pages this seems to be affecting 2005-2008 c6 corvettes. get your vehicle to the dealership immediately. it's not safe outside your garage either to others. the fuel tank needs to be drained for it to be completely safe. do not attempt draining yourself.
