I own a 2011 Corvette c6 and in the last 2 months, I get a strong smell of gas that is constant. I have read threads on the Corvette forms and found this is a crack in the fuel pump and it leaks out and collects into the pan that supports the gas tank. This is very dangerous and can start a fire along with fumes in the garage and sometime gas water heaters are located in the garage. I cannot believe this is not a recall.

I began noticing a strong gasoline odor coming from the car. I researched this symptom and discovered it was a common and well known problem related to defective fuel pumps for my model year car. Specifically, the fuel pumps develop cracks in the supply outlet of the pump, and then leak fuel along the top of the tank, which then flows down the side of the tank. I had to replace the pump, which the dealer now shows having a different part number than the original.
