The vehicle is leaking fuel from the gas link that connects to the gas tank. This has been an on and office issue. This when the vehicle is both on a office. I can go from having a half of tank to nearly empty the same day. The fumes are so strong I can not part the vehicle in my garage.

When parked I keep smelling strong gas smell. I started to worry as it got stronger and stronger so I looked under the car and found gas leaking down the back side and front side of the gas tank.

I feel that it isn't safe at all and I have to have this car for work and travel but cannot afford to have it fixed due to gm not producing up to standards. I have no choice but to drive it and hope that nothing catches fire.

The fuel lines that are wrapped in the heat protective tape on the driver rear side just as they turn up to go to the fuel tank are rusted out because the heat shield protector holds water on the fuel lines and now mine are rusted out and leaking fuel all over the ground by my exhaust.

Chevy is not taking responsibility with this defect and costing people money and putting lives in danger by having a leak prone line right by the hot exhaust. Please take action on this.
