After filling the gas tank there is a strong gas smell present. Once the gas level is below half tank, the odor is gone. Online research points to the crossover tube, fuel pump, evap system etc

2009 Corvette Z06, very strong odor of fuel both in cab and outside of vehicle!!! looked under car on drivers side and was able to see wet/damp areas around fuel tank. What really sucks, is that I cant even park it in my garage. The fumes are so strong, I'm afraid something will cause the fumes to ignite and put everyone's lives in danger. I looked on alldatadiy and found a recall/service bulletin however, when I called the dealership, they said based on my VIN# that my car was not affected....wtf!!!!! how can it not be? my car is doing exactly what the recall/service bulletin says.

There is a strong gas odor coming from the fuel filler tube (driver's side) area and an even stronger smell on the inside of the cockpit. But there are no visible leaks on the driver way (inclined) or garage floor. And there are no visible wet areas under the tanks or tank shields. Gas odor is related to GM bulletin #15682 dated July 2016.
There is a strong smell of gas in the whole cockpit after filling up. I don't over fill the car and I try not to get any drops spewing when filling up. The smell is stronger on the rear side of driver. I can smell gas in my garage when I park it in.
Gasoline smell really bad in cab. No evidence of fuel leak on garage floor. Seems to be coming from top of tank, maybe.. garage fills with these gasoline fumes. I am concerned about the damage this could cause. Seems an on going issue with 2008-2009 year models. Waiting your reply..

Very strong gas smell when the tank is filled. Filled garage with smell. Was afraid to start car. Pushed out of garage and let sit for 2 days. Started and drove to dealership.
Fuel leaking from around fuel tank. Possibly from fuel pump area. Strong gas smell fills garage over night. Gas can also be smelt inside of the car while driving. This happens regardless of the amount of fuel in the gas tank, but is more noticeable when tank is 1/2 or more full.
Strong gasoline smell whenever the tank is more than half full. So strong that I can smell gasoline in the house if the car has been parked in the attached garage overnight. I am concerned that the high concentration of gasoline vapor might B E a fire hazard to the house. I am also concerned that gasoline could touch the exhaust and catch fire while driving. No odor whatsoever when the tank is below half full.
I've noticed a fuel smell coming from the vehicle after driving. My mechanic found leaking fuel from the top of the gas tank. There was a recall for this defect.

Every time I fuel up and I do not fill my car to full only just above half a tank and I still get this strong smell
