My 2009 Corvette has an increasing fuel smell emanating from my Corvette's driver side rear wheel well. The fuel vapor smell is so strong that can create a dangerous situation when the car is park in the garage where my gas hot water heater is located. After researching the issue, I've come across numerous reports of covette c6 owners reporting the same issue. The consensus seems to be that hairline cracks develop on the top of the fuel tanks causing fuel to leak on and down the side of the tank. Obviously this could lead to a serious fire hazard if it were to leak on to the vehicles exhaust. With the amount of c6 owners reporting this same issue and the potential for extreme fire hazard, I feel that general motors should address the issue. I am the original owner ofthe car and never been informed by general motors about a recall or a repair to correct the problem. I hope that filing this report will help getting this problem corrected.

Fuel leaking from around fuel tank. Possibly from fuel pump area. Strong gas smell fills garage over night. Gas can also be smelt inside of the car while driving. This happens regardless of the amount of fuel in the gas tank, but is more noticeable when tank is 1/2 or more full.
Car parked in the garage and next morning, I smell gasoline order coming around gas filler neck and inside the car. I look under the car and found small amount of gasoline coming from the top of the tank.
