What owners say
Fuel tank leak after filling tank. Sends cel code for evap system. Fuel leaks from tank onto exhaust pipe. Dealer will not fix. I never received a "recall" notice or bulletin.
Engine light came on, took to mechanic, fuel vapor/fuel leak identified, smoke test performed, source appears to be tank/tank straps.
Smell of gas noticeable when car just sitting in garage. Service engine light also came on. Vehicle brought in for service and found to have right fuel tank leak. (of importance was the fact we had the left gas tank replaced about a year before this event at which time I thought it was just a freak occurrence until it happened again)

Check engine light on - strong fuel odor interior and exterior - gas leaking under driver side on garage floor after fillup. Mileage 17,940. Certified corvette dealer mechanic remarked that seals were deemed flawed. Gm needs to issue safety and environmental recall and reimburse. Had to have fuel tank replaced - cost totaled $2,500.59! Please investigate this dangerous safety issue and force gm to recall and reimburse.
There was a heavy gas smell and the check engine light came on. Took the vehicle to a chevrolet dealer to correct. They said the gas tank had a leak on the top of the tank. I thought this strange but had them replace it. There was much back and forth and the dealer said he would give me the tank as a chevrolet good will gesture, but I would have to pay labor.
Check engine light warning. Right side fuel tank leaking.
