Consumer Description
The fuel component on this vehicle is the concern. The fuel vapor is very strong inside the car and especially outside around the driver's side. When parked in the garage, the fuel smell would seep into the house. I am afraid to park it inside the garage due to strong fuel vapor coming out of the vehicle. I am afraid that the strong fuel vapor might ignite due to other power sources inside the garage. This issue is well known in the Corvette community, on Corvette Forum. I have scheduled to bring it into a Chevy dealership on 6/8/21 for an inspection and repair. There is no drivability issue with vehicle. It starts and drives fine, just the fuel smell that is overwhelming. There is no sign on fuel leaks on the floor. There is no warning lamps, nothing that would indicate a fuel system issue. The car only has less than 19k miles as of this writing.
