Fuel leak by model year
What owners say
Seems to be a common issue and GM has a tsb for it but they only covered the repare for 10 years and 120k I am at 11 with 70k miles. The fuel is leaking from the top of the tank and could cause a fire.
My 2010 Chevrolett Grand Sport has developed a very strong odor of gasoline. Both when parked in garage and while driving. It’s obviously leaking gasoline somewhere which could result in a fire or death.
When the vehicle sits in an enclosed garage, it fills the garage with raw fuel odor. This happens most often when it is around 3/4 tank. No fuel leaks on the floor visible but odor is very strong. Gas mileage has dropped significantly as well.
Fuel pumps on left and right side . Cracks in fuel I lines and pumps not working. Replaced both fuel pumps because of gas leakage and gas smell in garage.plus pumps would not equalize fuel so it would't start. Cost $c2666.54 to fix!!
Have a strong fuel odor after driving the car. Garage is inundated with fuel smell and I have to open the garage door and use a floor fan to ventilate it to make it habitable. Suspect a fuel leak.
I have a 2010 chevy corvette base model with a gas leak it was parked in my garage for a two weeks . I went and put gas and noticed a strong smell of gas. I drove the car for a while and put it back in the garage the gas smell got worse I took it to the shop they said that the fuel pump is leaking wanting to charge me 2000 to fix it.
When the fuel tank is more than 50% full there is a strong persistent odor of fuel that fills my parking garage and can also be smelled in the car while driving. When the fuel tank is below 50% full the odor is less noticeable and virtually disappears as the fuel tank empties. There are no visible fuel leaks and there is no lack of performance from the engine. It appears that fuel vapors are leaking from the tank without leaking to the ground. The fuel cap is in good condition and properly secured.
Severe gasoline fuel smell from leaking fuel tank pump. Odor permeates garage, house and inside of car.
Strong fuel smell when tank is over 1/2 full. Fuel leak on driver side. Strong odor of gasoline by driver side rear wheel well
A strong smell of fuel in the cockpit. While there is no visible puddle of fuel on my garage floor, the fuel odor is very strong and I am obliged to keep my garage door open or the fuel smell enters into the house. I took it to the service dept of where I purchased the vehicle (carmax) and was informed today that the leak is on the top of the left fuel tank and that to access it, it would be necessary to remove the transmission. I was also informed that since the job was a "big one" carmax would make arrangements to have my car brought to a chevrolet dealership. I was also told that my car max service warranty might not cover the repairs done outside their shop. I am bringing this to your attention in hopes that due to the fire danger involved with leaking fuel general motors will issue a safety recall on the problem. The fuel smell is amplified when there is 3/4 of a tank or more. The fuel smell is particularly strong when the vehicle is in the garage. The fuel smell diminishes if the vehicle is parked outside in the open air.
