Description of the problem | I own a 2003 gmc envoy xlt service engine light is on returned the vehicle to the dealer and was told this is a cracked fuel tank. Dealer showed me where the fuel was leaking it was leaking on a weld that attaches the filler hose to the fuel tank. This certainly isn't a wearable part and it doesn't receive much corrosion due to being a florida car. There are many forums on the internet and many vehicle owners that have the same problem. I would think that a fuel leak may lead to extremely hazardous situation for all motor vehicle owners. I understand an investigation has been raised and closed. It is unfair that gm manufactures a fuel tank that could be a risk to its consumers. This case needs to be revisited and reopened. |
