    Everytime the car is filled with fuel, I smell a strong odor of gasoline for days after. The following day, my garage is so strong of fuel odor, it is almost unbearable. It seems there was a recall at one point to fix this, but I cannot find it anymore.

    Car reeks of gasoline on rear driver side and in driver side cockpit after refueling. Car emits strong gasoline odor. No visible gas on garage floor but suspect fuel tank leaking from the top and pooling on the hot exhaust pipes. Whole garage reeks of gasoline.

    Strong fuel smell coming from the gas tank after filling the tank full. I have replaced the gas cap. It happens when the tank is over 1/2 full.

    Strong fuel smell coming from vehicle. car sits in garage overnight and emits fuel smell in the garage to the point i have to keep the garage cracked. smell is most noticable after fill up but smell still continues after 100 or so miles. i believe fuel is leaking somewhere because the tank has moisture running down the back side.

    Low beams don't work when the engine gets hot, I was driving the other night at 10pm and the headlights went out. Pitch black and almost wrecked.......This is a know issue..... Fuel pump has small cracks in the top of driver side fuel pump could start fire, and its a know issue....... Heads on the LS7 also know valve issue. It will ruin the motor.....

    Any level above 1/2 leaks fuel , you can see the fuel running down the side of the tank when you look under the bottom of the car. Fumes are very strong inside and out of the vehicle especially when parked in my garage

    I was preparing 2008 corvette with 93k miles for winter storage end of 2022. Filled tank and put in garage with cover. Next day strong smell of fuel filled garage. Looked into other cases if this was common and found that there were a lot of customers with same problem cracked fittings on fuel pumps but coverage was only for 10 yrs. Fuel can drip down onto exhaust from what I read on others post. Now I'm very concerned about it catching fire anytime it would be driven and or parked in garage.. Why would chevrolet not recall a dangerous problem like this and surely prevent a possible fatality. 10 yrs for those who barely drive vehicle like me and plenty of very low miles owners is not long enough for coverage.

    The vehicle has a very strong odor of gasoline, both outside and inside the vehicle. Initial research indicates that Chevrolet is aware of the problem and offered a limited time solution to those experiencing the issue, which has now expired. The issue is a faulty fuel pump assembly on the driver's side of the vehicle, where one of the fittings is know to crack. This results in fuel vapors and fuel to leak from the top of the tank. The concern, other than the nauseating smell, is that fuel can leak onto the exhaust and catch fire.
