Description of the problem | My fuel pump and injectors failed while i was driving, stranding my truck in the middle of traffic right where a city street was changing to a country road. The gmc dealership falsely claimed that this was caused by using unapproved fuel. The fuel i used was b20 biodiesel, with 80% renewable diesel, which meets diesel specifications and is a legal road fuel in california. They also claimed that a cascade of other problems were all caused by my fuel and refused to apply my warranty. |
