Consumer Description

MY 2009 CORVETTE (BASE MODEL) IS EXPERIENCING FUEL VAPOR LEAK. THERE ARE NO LIQUID LEAKS VISIBLE BENEATH THE CAR, OR ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE SMELL OF FUEL IS MORE INTENSE TOWARD THE DRIVERS REAR QUARTER PANEL, NEAR THE FILLER TUBE. I HAVE CHANGED MY GAS TANK CAP AND THIS MADE NO DIFFERENCE. THE SMELL OF FUEL PERSISTS. THE SMELL IS NOT PRESENT INSIDE THE CAR, OR WHILE IN MOTION. THE SMELL IS STRONGEST WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED AND SEEMS TO DIMINISH WHEN FUELS IS 1/2 TANK OR BELOW. I AM CONCERNED OF FIRE IN THE CAR, OR IN MY GARAGE, ATTACHED TO MY HOUSE.
