I Googled it too and found several Corvette sites that explained what "may" have caused it. Mainly a blockage in the vent line to the purge canister.

"Filled" with fuel the night before the tank implosion was discovered. Not a hot day or night, Mid-May, Central Pennsylvania . It took about 8 gallons. Drove it a total of 3.5 miles home and parked it. No codes. Was washing it the next day and thats what I found when I opened the fuel door.

Got a new tank at Corvette America as it's very close to where I live. They want to put this one on display in their showroom when it is replaced.
