What owners wrote
On september 13,2012 my fuel gauge stop working and it was not registering any gas level in the tank . I went to chevrolet dealership thinking that this was a repair which would fall under my vehicle extended warranty. I found out that there was a history code that came up in my car computer at 13,700 miles that my fuel system was falling. This is a code that you as the driver do not see nor do the tech at the dealership will see unless a diagnosis testing is done.
Gas leaking at top of fuel tanks. Gas fumes fill cockpit and garage when parked. Evidence of gas dripping down back of drivers side fuel tank, next to exhaust. Car can not be kept in an enclosed garage due to fumes and fire hazard. Driving car also presents a fire hazards, because the fuel drips down onto hot exhaust. Numerous other reports on the corvette forum of this same problem. Too many to count.
