What owners wrote
Consumer stated sending unit failed to operate properly, vehicle would run out of fuel within 1/4 tank, later on consumer was able to get dealer to make repairs.
I have a 1998 chevrolet corvette with 79,000 miles on it. The factory service manual says the fuel filter never needs to be replaced. I developed a serious leak on the outlet connection on the filter. It happened after I shut off the engine and there was no more fuel pump pressure. Gas just poured out and ran down the side of the gas tank, some dripped on the exhaust pipe. The connection they use appears to be defective. I am a member of the corvette forum and a few other people have had fuel pump leaks also.
