1 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2012

I have a 2005 Avalanche that I was driving to work and I started to smell gas in the cab of the truck. When I arrived at work a CO worker came over and stated your truck is leaking fluid. I got out of the truck and it was leaking gas all over the ground. I had just filled up the tank and it was a little over 1/4 filled. Upon further inspection after the lines dried I noticed a hole in the fuel lines. It looked like it had rubbed together with another line and causing a hole.

2 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2012

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500. The contact stated while at a complete stop the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrumental panel. The contact then noticed there was a fuel odor coming from the driver's side door. An authorized dealer stated that the fuel lines were crossed above the catalytic converter causing the them to rub and fuel to leak from the fuel lines. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 132,000. Updated 05/31/lj.

3 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2011

Driving home I started to smell gas in the cab of the truck. After the truck was parked I found gas on the ground under the engine. When I had a mechanic look at the problem he found that the factory installed fuel lines were touching and had rub a hole in the fuel lines and were leaking gas on the engine also the e85 sensor module was cracked and leaking gas. No fuel line parts were avalible for the repair. I was told not to use the truck as the leak could cause a fire. This to me is a big proplem as their is no worning.

4 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2009

With no warning at all my fuel line began to leak profusely. No sensor warnings/lights at all. Fuel line was leaking a tremendous amount of gas - leaking to the point I was afraid to leave it parked in my driveway near my house or even out on the street (in case someone walked by with a cigarette). I feel this was an extremely dangerous situation. To make matters worse, my truck has been in the shop for over a week and several chevy dealerships are unable to get the parts from the factory and in some instances are only being told they are "backordered" with no approximate date of availability.
