problem #1

Suburban 4WD

The fuel pump and fuel sender had to be replaced. But what was troubling was the statement from the mechanic that we were lucky it did not explode. I kept the parts that were replaced and the evidence is clearly there that the vehicle could have exploded. I am very concerned that other owners of the Suburban may not be as lucky to catch it in time.
