You noticed a strong fuel smell in your vehicle and discovered the gas tank needed replacement. The repair facility mentioned Chevy had replacement tanks readily available, suggesting this was a known issue. Additionally, the paint on the driver's side of your car is peeling off from the door to the rear, with visible bubbles forming underneath the paint surface. Addressing this will likely require gas tank replacement and paint restoration work.
