You convinced me to sell my 2011 GS. Every time I watch a video and see things I can't fix on my own, It just gives my nightmares thinking about labor cost. I'm just gonna give up and go back to a hot rod I can fix on my own. I just hit 29 thousand miles on it so I have dodged everything so far. But....I all ready have enough to worry about.
Lyle, you absolutely nailed the C6 dreaded gas smell issue, one of the pleasantries of owning a late model Corvette....but I still love the C6!
Huge Safety issue for sure. Now, I say this should be a definite recall situation for GM. It is ridiculous to think there are many Vettes running around like ticking time bombs for fires or worse. Especially behind the drivers seat. This sounds like my lawyer getting involved with the proper authorities to get GM to recall this tank assembly issue. They have recalled cars for a lot less than leaking gas behind a drivers seat!. Thanks so much for the info you provide!!!!
This is why cars are so expensive. Unnecessary complexity.
My 2004 C5 needed the primary fuel pump replaced at 8000 miles. Dealer said the rear suspension and drivetrain had to be removed to lower the fuel tank to replace the pump. This was in 2012. It’s labor costs like this that have me thinking about selling a car that I really love. The pump just quit while I was passing a semi with another semi just behind me going to pass him also. With towing it cost me $ 2200.00. That was in 2012. I can’t even think how much it would cost today. A real stupid GM design !!!
I had this issue about 6 months ago. Garage would fill up the gas smell any time I had more than 1/2 tank of gas. Had to replace the tank behind the passenger, pump, regulator and wiring harness. Dealer charged 5k later it was fixed. Only 25k on my ‘13. What a nightmare.
I had this problem with my 2008 Z51. It was awful. Yes, whole garage smelled like raw gas. Believe it or not GM/Chevrolet warranted the repair years later. They fixed it and all is good. If your looking to purchase a Corvette I would recommend a 2015 and later.
Another common issue with Corvette c6 . For some reason, the hood of the Corvette's they start to paint chip.
My C6 smells like Racecar… I also don’t have Cats. 😀
My C6, driver side, rear wheel well has smell. Yikes.
Lyle, you are a good man for sharing this.
I drive a 95. Always looking at 08-10. I think I’ll keep driving the 95. Thanks for the heads up.
A C5 gas smell is often the connections at the fuel filter above the driver side tank. Safely jack the rear up, remove the driver side rear tire , stick your head under the fender and look straight up above the tank and you will see it. It often will smell of gas but show no drips on the ground. Ran into that several times.
CONGRATS C&S Corvettes!
no matter if its about the big problem that ill have replacing this stuff on my C6 , but i really enjoy the every video of Lyle , even if its for telling me that ill have to pay big bucks to do this jobs 🤣😂
I had this issue with my 2011. My dealer didn't know what was wrong. He thought the tank had a seal issue like it was made in 2 pieces. I ended up trading it. Loved that car. It was my 1st Corvette.
Does the climate where you live have a bearing? (And, as a 2008 C6 owner, this vid was of extreme value!)
As always great info,.. not just for owners but also for buyers!
Appreciate for the upload, keep them coming! 👍
