Fuel is leaking from the top of the driver side fuel sending unit. This is a know issue on these cars and should be fixed under a recall. This is a very dangerous issue.

Strong odor of gas fumes in driver compartment, seems to eminate from driver side. Plastic flange on top of fuel pump is cracked and spews gas to surrounding area. Smell is constant regardless of fuel level. GM has been aware of problem for years but has yet to issue recall. They did issue temporary special coverage adjustment not adequate for earlier model years where issue was systemic. Yes my car is available for inspection. This is health and safety issue which should warrant a recall. Fire hazard as well. No warning lamps appear on dash.

I recently purchased a 2011 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport from a dealer in South Florida named Greico Chevrolet in Del Rey Beach. It was purchased used and as is from this dealer, but this appears to be a quite dangerous problem. I smell gasoline on the drivers side wheel well most of the time and sometimes the smell seeps through the car into the cabin. This is not from overfilling the tank (which I do not do anyway). I researched this issue and it appears to be an issue with two GM cars. See this statement and let me know if I have a claim: "GM Special coverage adjustment 15682 update July 2016 .Condition Some 2007 to 2009 model year Cadillac XLR and 2007 to 2013 model year Chevrolet Corvette vehicles may have a condition where a fuel odor is detected, fuel droplets appear below the left-hand fuel tank with fuel gauge level above 1/2, or a malfunction indicator lamp illuminates due to a leak path in the left-hand fuel pump module flange. Special Coverage Adjustment This special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles (193,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership. For vehicles covered by Vehicle Service Contracts, all eligible claims with repair orders on or after July 25, 2016, are covered by this special coverage and must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to July 25, 2016, must be submitted to the Service Contract provider. Correction Dealers are to replace the left hand fuel tank fuel pump module. The repairs will be made at no charge"

Car has a very strong fuel odor when filling tank over half full. The fuel gauge will sometimes go to empty prompting a " service fuel system" message on display screen for 30-40 seconds, then goes back to previous level reading. I've owned car for 4 years, I remember getting a g.m. Recall notice in the mail about a fuel system recall shortly after buying it, but I can't find it now.

Every time I fill the gas tank, the car smells heavily of gas fumes for days. I was told it is a leak from the top of the gas tank, and the mechanic told me he has seen this a lot with this model/year of corvettes. It's caused my fuel economy to drop, and my fuel gauge will sometimes shut off completely.
