Washington -- Federal safety regulators have opened an investigation into 33,000 2004 Chevrolet Corvettes over complaints of leaky fuel tanks.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it opened an investigation after getting 30 complaints from consumers "alleging either liquid fuel or fuel vapor leaking from a fuel tank."

The Corvette has two fuel tanks; in 12 reports, a fuel tank was replaced or identified as the source of the leak.

GM spokesman Alan Adler said he wasn't aware of any injuries or accidents.

"We are aware of the NHTSA investigation into the 2004 Corvette and are cooperating with the agency," GM spokesman Alan Adler.
