The fuel pump is leaking due to a defective design.
Gas leak and smell from top of drivers side gas tank with car above half full replaced sending unit and fuel pump canister.
Due to use of plastics that tend to crack, am now experiencing issues with fuel pump on driver's side. Driving continues to produce gas smell. Extremely complicated fix that requires dropping gas tank and possibly transmission to reach fuel pump.
Service b. : 15682 gas smell; dealer telling me requires left fuel pump and crossover pipe and they will not pay for. This should be a recall as its very dangerous. I never got anything from chevy regarding this issue. Have had smell issues for years. Have barely driven in 2. 5 years because of issue.
Horrible fuel smell coming from cockpit. Obvious recall needed on fuel pump plastics!!!.
I have a strong smell of gasoline in and around mu 2007 Corvette c6. It is caused by a defective plastic fuel pump where the fuel line exits the top of the pump on the outside of the fuel tank. It always cracks and leaks fuel. This happens to all factory installed original c6 fuel pumps. The gm replacement pump is manufactured with a different type of plastic and is not suppose to crack. My 2007 Corvette has approx. 44,000 miles and has this extremely dangerous and life threaten issue. And may even burn down my garage also. Why has this pump not been recalled by gm? are you waiting until enough lives and property is lost???.
My c6 2007 Chevrolet Corvette has a very strong fuel smell indicating it has one or many fuel leaks which is a large danger and an emissions violation. This is a very widely-known issue with a large number of c6 owners but gm will not initiate a recall on the faulty fuel pump or leaking seals on the gas tanks. This needs to be addressed ASAP before someone gets killed.
Fuel leak from fuel pump and cross over tubes. Originally detected by a very strong gas odor in the garage. The odor and fuel is leaking and visible when the car is stationary. The fuel smell is also strong while driving.
After having all the fluids changed at my Chevrolet dealer, which included a transmission flush and differential service (which happen to be right by the fuel tanks) a strong fuel smell was evident when parked in garage. Took vehicle back to dealer who determined spider cracking at fuel output elbow on top of fuel pump causing fuel leak when fuel pump on. Replaced fuel pump and crossover feed lines. $1720. 00.
My vehicle is producing a strong fuel odor when parked in my garage. So much so, that the fuel odor permeates the entire house. This is a known problem suffered by many c6 owners and is well documented on many Corvette forums and there is even a youtube video (https://youtu. Be/p9e3md122mg) revealing the problem. A crack develops in the pressure side of the fuel pump. Gm had the exact same problem with several other 2007 model vehicles and promptly ordered a recall because of the potential problem of fire or explosion if exposed to an ignition source. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We need your intervention in this c6 fuel pump problem !!!.
Upon parking the vehicle in my garage I noticed a very strong fuel smell emitting from the vehicle. I search all around the car and could not find a leak. This very powerful fuel/gasoline smell would permeate my entire house causing a bit of nausea at times. I started to park the car outside because I was concerned about the possible fire hazard as well as the noxious fumes. I took the car to my local mechanic and they found that the main fuel pump (located in the left side fuel tank) had been leaking from the high pressure side of the pump. The plastic that fuel pump module is composed of started to deteriorate on it's own, and began to spray fuel onto the top of the fuel tank. There is a large skid/support plate that holds up the fuel tank and this plate was retaining a majority of the fuel. This tank is also very close to the exhaust and I'm just fortunate that the fuel did not spray into that direction. After doing some research this is a very common issue with all 2005-2013 Corvettes. So many issues in fact that ac delco (the vendor that supplies the fuel pump modules to gm) has issued 3 updates to this particular part. Here is my oem part number as well as the subsequent update part numbers. My oe pump that leaked: 15785206 (is no longer a good ac delco #) 1st update: 19133441 2nd update: 19302042 3rd update: 19149687.
The car has developed a terrible gasoline odor. The cause is the faulty plastic fitting at the top of the fuel pump assembly. There is a visible fuel leak running down the tank. The car is not safe and fills with fumes. I cannot park the car inside and fear that the car is dangerous.
