Thanks John for posting that. It seems strange that the unit wasn't designed with the sensors encapsulated and protected from direct fuel contact. Especially since those of us with other and older cars have always been told to store with a full tank of gas.'RedHot' Prod.Wk 7 Oct '13 Museum Del. 29 Oct '13- Sold Oct '21

Good point Jeff. Kind of like the difference with carbureted cars where we were told to warm them up nicely in winter before driving away, now just 15 seconds or so for fuel injected cars.
Maybe GM has learned something about sensor protection and will incorporate it into the C8?Z06 coming late this summer: Hypersonic Gray HTC, two tone blue interior, complete high wing/aero package.

Thats my gm chevrolet tech ...he is great. I really find with his servicing my vehicle ...i have a flawless ownership experience. His fine efforts are what kept me from buying a jaguar f type supercharged v8 and a porsche...
my wife was pushing for me to try something other than corvettes and loved the sleek jaguar...
corvettes being more raw fun helped too but pauls excellence in service is above reproach at jackson chevy in middletown ct..
i travel 3 states for service no less...i get up before the sun roses and travel up the beautiful merit parkway...a couple of hours each way without traffic..

I remember the Merritt Parkway. It is beautiful. The second to the last time I was on it was around 1972; however, the last time when we drove it was went we were driving north to turn in our 9 year old C6 Z06. It is such a great road when there is little traffic.
Paul Koerner is your Tech. No wonder your above post was about the fifth or sixth time you have bragged about him. Lucky you!Z06 coming late this summer: Hypersonic Gray HTC, two tone blue interior, complete high wing/aero package. CCB’s, with every piece of visible carbon fiber available.

he is always available to give good insight. His passion is delivering excellence regarding corvettes.
when i go to the dealership im welcomed by all members of the entire dealership as a superstar...as is my handicapped autistic 23 year old son..
they love that i travel three states at 5 30 am to have my various cars serviced there...and when i bring my son they are dolls to my son which makes me very happy..
they deserve all my praise.Last edited by JB; 12-06-2018, 08:35 PM.

I had issues w/ the C7, but not the C6. And the C6 has a heck of a lot more miles than the C7, which has since been sold.
I think the C7 (14 model) had a fuel sensor issue around 34k mi. The fuel sending unit (board) was replaced under 3/36k warranty.
