Fuel tank has a leak and the unburned fuel sits on top of the tank. The whole inside of the cabin smells strong of fuel and goes away about five minutes after driving. The unburned fuel and the smell only happen when the vehicle is parked and turned off. I have called the dealership about this issue multiple times and am still waiting for a call back to see what can be done. It has been about one month and still haven't received anything back. With the unburned fuel sitting on the top of the tank, while driving it could spill onto the exhaust pipes and cause a fire. There has been no warning lights of any kind that would have told me that something was wrong.

Vehicle has a very strong gasoline smell following refueling. The gasoline vapors invade the passenger cabin to the extent the windows have to be down for ventilation. It remains that way until the fuel tank reaches half full, and disappears as the tank reaches 1/4 full. Now I only fil the tank to 1/2 full to minimize the vapor. I am concerned that a spark may ignite the vapor if the tank were filled . I have heard this condition exists on this model and am wondering why it hasn't been addressed, or if is has please enlighten me, this is a very serious condition concerning the fuel delivery system.

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.
