I know my truck is 14 years old but I would not expect that a gas tank would start leaking from the top no matter how old a vehicle is. The problem started when I smelled gas in my garage. At first I thought I might have over filled the tank but after about 2 weeks the service engine light came on and I took it to a mechanic. He found that the tank was leaking from the top where the plastic gas tank connected to metal fittings. He tried to get a new tank at a number of places in and around Connecticut with no luck as they were all sold out. He said that the automakers are not producing enough plastic tanks to keep up with demand. He finally located one in Georgia at a COST of $450.00 and a shipping fee of $150.00. That coupled with a $471.00 cost for a new fuel pump and $739 charge for labor and another approximately $100.00 for miscellaneous parts put the cost at $2,023.09.
In addition to the money, I also lost use of the truck for almost 3 weeks as we waited to find the gas tank. I like my truck but am not liable to buy another GM product for a long time after experiencing a problem that should not have happened as I don't consider gas tanks to be a wearing part.
