2006 Chevrolet Corvette Fuel system Problems

“My vehicle with 85,000 miles began emmiting a continuous raw gas smell when I refill the fuel tank. Smell is coming from the left side, rear, wheel well. Smell is intense to the point I cannot store inside the garage as I fear a fire hazard and a toxic smell is coming into my house interior. Smell seems to end once fuel level goes below 1/2 full.”

“I smell gas coming from my gas tank, especially after a fillup. The cap has been replaced. No spillage occurs when filling up but yet the smell persists until I get below a half a tank. Others in the Corvette world who own a c6 Corvette have complained of the same thing and have discovered it is due to a faulty seal in between the tank and filler, perhaps the whole assembly. Very dangerous fire hazard.”

“I filled up my gas tank and when getting back into the car I noticed a strong gas odor, so strong that I had to roll the windows down in the rain. The smell was especially bad when I came to a stop. I just looked online to see if others are having this problem and it seems this is a major issue with the c6 Corvette. This is extremely unsettling, considering many of us park our cars in garages with pilot lights and other sources of spark/flame. I'll be contacting GM.”

“I recently (jan 6, 2018), noticed a very distinct gasoline smell in my garage and around my 2006 Corvette. There is no spotting beneath the car. The odor has its strongest concentration in the area near the filler door (driver's side rear wheel well area). I have owned the car for exactly three years and this is the first time this smell has been present. It is very pervasive and definitely gasoline. The fumes are a major safety hazard and this condition is very disconcerting. …”

“I bought this car the other day and on the way home I stopped at the gas station and filled my car up to 3/4 of a tank. When I got home there was a very strong smell of gas coming into the car. I parked in the garage and when I woke up the next morning the smell was unbearable. I have it at the chevy dealership right now having it looked at. I just saw a forum with someone having the same problem and sent me to this link. Is this a recall? Also the smell is strong at all times driving/parked/idoling”
