to address the Z51 question,,, mine is the CE coupe w magnetic selective ride which is off 99% of the time....
seems like the crossover pipe was a bandaid in the last year of production that caused other problems..

I sent pictures of the bad tank and crossover along with the invoice to have it done to Steve @ NHTSA. He stated that he forwarded it to
higher above. The claims are now being reviewed by the engr's, to see if there is justification to make GM claim responsibility.

Okay, I have a '98, not an '04 but still had a messy leak. I waited until I could manage $2000 USD and took it to the dealer, Hood Chevrolet, in Covington, LA. I told them I wanted any parts replaced, They called me the next day, I had a ruptured o-ring at the fuel pump. So, I ended up getting a new fuel filter and an oil and filter change with the repair for $176! I'm a happy camper but I really feel for you guys suffering through that crossover crap. Hang in there!

letter sent to Steve @ NHTSA today, hope no one minds
Steve,
As you may know, there are a great deal of people with 04 Corvettes that are waiting to see What is going on with our problem. We also understand that the NHTSA is very busy with Toyota.
Is there any update that you can supply me with or a channel to someone that can give us the Status of the complaints? The repairs have cost the Corvette community a great deal of money,And those that cant afford to repair this problem are paying for cars that they cant drive without The possibility of an explosion.
The thoughts of the Corvette community right now is that the NHTSA is sitting on this due to Obama Motors. I know it sounds stupid, but there seems to be some merit in this with the financial Situation GM is in right now.
I don’t believe that this is asking too much from the NHTSA, to give us some type of feedback where the Situation is at.
Unfortunate for you, that you are my only contact concerning this situation. Again, someone please give us Some information or direction that the complaint is going.
Regards,
Andy & the Corvette community
