Fuel leak by model year
What owners say
Fuel pump had hairline cacks on top. Gas leak under pressure. Strong fumes while in garage. Gas leaks down on exhaust pipes
There is a fuel leak most likely coming from the fuel pump or gasket from within the 2 gas tanks. Gas fumes are building up in my garage causing a horrible smell. Very dangerous please do something about this. Chevrolet has no recalls for this common problems.
We are having an issue with our vehicle leaking fuel on left side fuel tank. The vehicle is constant smell of gas on that left side. It has been a safety concern for us and the dealer wants us to pay at least $1200 just for diagnostic alone. There was a Special Coverage Adjustment for this issue but we were never notified. The notice is Special Coverage Adjustment 15682. I spoke with GM/Chevrolet Customer Assistance and spoke with [XXX] he said I would have to get diagnostic and that the fee could be applied to repair. I understand there is a time limit on most things but it seems that something that relates to safety issue should not have and end date. This is a type of car that most people just have as a collector car and you can see by the low miles that this is the case. I am not trying to get a repair on a vehicle that has 100,000 or more miles. It may seem trivial but this is important to me.

I started smelling gas from my car two weeks ago. I discovered on Corvette Forum.com that this is a common problem. If the car is filled up over 1/2 tank gas will come out of the top and drip on the exhaust, which is very concerning. Chevrolet claims that the cars with this issue were recalled, but mine was not. This is one of two reoccurring issues with the C6 Corvette, and unfortunately, I am a victim of both. The other is the shifter locks in place, and the car will not come out of park. Chevrolet does not own up to the responsibility for this defective engineering as well. Please add me to the complaints for these two recallable issues as Chevrollet refuses to address the issue. Fuel dripping on the exhaust preplexes me why the federal safety agency has not got involved already.
There is a very strong fuel odor coming from the car when I shut it down, especially when I park in the garage. The smell is overwhelming. Seems like it's coming from the rear part of the car, drivers side. I don't see fuel leaking nor on the garage floor, but it is very evident there is a problem. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed. thank you
Every time the fuel tank is filled to full (not past the click), there is a very bad fuel smell but no fuel leaking on the ground. I bought the car with 69000 and have noticed it every time I have filled the tank to full but never past the "click". I have read of many others having the same problem. I am afraid to park my car inside my garage. I have had fuel system parts replaced but it still continues. No leak has ever been noted.

The contact stated that while the vehicle was at an inspection station for a smog test, the technician informed him that there was fuel leaking from the fuel tank onto the exhaust pipe. Additionally, a strong fuel odor was detected inside the vehicle. The dealer was made aware of the failure and scheduled an upcoming appointment for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the Special Coverage Adjustment Number: 15682 for the Primary Tank Module Flange Fuel and Vapor Leaks had expired. The contact related the failure to TSB: N150682. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.
Just purchased this used car with less than 3000 miles. I happened to come across the fuel leak issue in online forum. Since I rec'd incomplete service records, I do not know if the repair has been done to my car. This is just not right when th eproblem could create a fuel leak onto the exhaust. If the problem were made a recall, then gm would be forced to notify me as the current owner so that the problem could be fixed before there is a fire resulting from fuel leak.
Without the ability to search a database for tsb implementation, I have no way to determine if my used car purchase has been fixed per the manufacturer recommendation outlined in the tsb. On my particular vehicle, I am not able to ascertain if the fuel leak issue was repaired!! Tsb implementation needs to be handled similar to safety recalls to prevent serious problems for unsuspecting used car buyers.
When I fill my car up with gas it very loud like gas is leaking
