STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM CAR AFTER FILLUP, SEEMS LIKE FUEL LEAK. IT FILLS UP GARAGE WITH VERY VERY VERY STRONG SMELL OF FUEL. DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE COMING FROM THE GAS CAP, BUT SMELL IS STRONG. WORRIED THAT THE LEAK ONTO EXHAUST WILL CAUSE A FIRE

TOP OF FUEL TANK COVERED WITH RAW FUEL. DON'T KNOW EXACT SOURCE YET AS CAR IS IN REPAIR SHOP NOW. WILL FOLLOW UP WITH MORE LATER. DEPENDING ON FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK, GAS FUMES ARE HEAVY OR LIGHT. POSSIBLE FIRE OR EXPLOSION IF LEFT IN CONFINED SPACE.

THERE IS A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR. IT CAN BE HEAVILY CONCENTRATED INSIDE THE CAR IF THE WINDOWS ARE UP AND THE FUEL TANK IS FULL. WITH THE CAR PARKED IN MY CLOSED GARAGE YOU COULD SMELL FUEL INSIDE MY HOUSE. NO FUEL LEAK IS VISIBLE. THE SMELL US REDUCED AS FUEL LEVEL DECREASES. EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION RATE IS ALSO OBSERVED. THE FUEL SMELL IS PRESENT AT ALL TIMES BUT IS EVEN WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

FUEL GUAGE GOES HAY WIRE AFTER FILLING UP,SERVICE FUEL SYSTEM LITE COMES ON,AFTER FEW MILES GOES BACK TO READINIG CORRECT,TIL HALF TANK THEN GOES CRAZY AGIAN,ON GOING PROPLEM WITH ALL C6 CORVETTES WITH AROUND 50000 MILES ON THEM

HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=P9E3MD122MG 2008 CORVETTE COUPE DEVELOPED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS WHICH IS STRONGEST ON DRIVERS SIDE OF CABIN. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE LEAKS, NO GAS POOLING AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THERE APPEAR TO BE HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT ISSUE DUE TO A FAULTY PART ON THE GAS TANK (SEE VIDEO). IT IS NOT DUE TO A NUMBER OF MILES DRIVEN BUT APPEARS TO BE A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE OVER TIME DUE TO BRITTLE PLASTIC. THE GAS SMELL IS INCREDIBLY STRONG AND MAKES THE CAR UNDRIVABLE UNLESS THE WINDOWS ARE ALWAYS FULLY DOWN. ALSO GENERALLY UNSURE IF THE CAR IS GOING TO EXPLODE DUE TO THE CONTINUING POOLING OF FUEL OVER TIME.

THERE IS A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL INSIDE THE CAR BUT NO OBVIOUS LEAKS. THE CAR DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE USING GAS FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED. IT SMELLS STRONGEST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN MANY OWNERS HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH THE FUEL TANK OR FUEL LINE. THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS MOMENT THIS STARTED OR EVENT THAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR JUST STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS.
