Consumer Description

After refilling my car with gas, there was a strong fuel smell. As the fuel level dropped, the smell of gas went away. With this fuel smell there were strong vapors in my garage. I had to open the garage doors and let the garage air out before starting any of my vehicles I have in the garage. It got to the point I had to part the Corvette outside. I finally took it to a mechanic (Christain Brothers Automotive Huntsville Alabama), they found the fuel boost pump (driver's side) was cracked on top. I did not have the tools or capability to change the boost pump.
