2006 Chevrolet Corvette fuel/propulsion system problems

“2006 Corvette convertible. Has a strong gas smell after filling up. I understand this is a common problem, but Chevrolet will not acknowledge it. The gas can drip down on the hot exhaust system, and start a fire, burning down our house, or out on the road with us in it! Please help us get this deadly problem resolved, with little expense heaped upon us. Thank you, [XXX]”

“Vehicle is leaving a strong gas order inside and around the vehicle. This issue is currently awaiting to be inspected but for the meantime, it’s parked inside a garage where it completely fills the area with said odor. This is particularly unsafe due to our water heater also being located in this section of the house. Gas smell first appeared about a month ago and had consistently releasing these vapors. I’ve seen that GM has released a service bulletin for a short period of time but hasn’t officially recalled the fuel issue (faulty fuel system).”

“Fuel leaks from drivers side fuel tank. I see fuel tracks down side of tank, so conclude fuel is leaking from top of tank or from fuel pump. Fuel components are plastic, and now 17 years old, so they are probably cracked from age. I have strong smell of fuel in my garage, and puddle of fuel under drivers side tank. This is a safety hazard and must be fixed. I am aware of a number of other C6 Corvette owners with identical problems. GM must fix!”

“Car is now leaking fuel from driver's side gas tank. This is a known problem with GM and I do not understand how this is not a safety recall as the exhaust is inches away from the tank. The problem has been documented online by many owners. Is NHSTA waiting for someone to die in a fire before forcing GM to recall these cars. This is ridiculous. My car has only 41K miles. This should not be allowed by such a large American Corporation”

“I recently purchased the car. I am noticing a strong smell of fuel from the rear driver's side. It is random. No leak on my garage floor. Reading forums and it has been an issue with other corvettes. Concerned as it could be a safety issue.”

“FUEL GAS FUMES FROM LEFT REAR WHEEL OPENING AND INSIDE WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. HAD FUEL SENDING UNIT IN GAS TANK REPLACED AND NEW GAS CAP BUT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. DANGEROUS GAS FUMES !! FUMES STRONGER WHEN WEATHER IS HOT.”
