The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Express 1500. The contact stated that fuel was leaking from under the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The technician and the mechanic advised that the return and delivery fuel lines would have to be replaced due to corrosion. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 148,000.

On a few occasions prior to locating a leak, I noticed a gasoline smell. Finally when filling earlier this month, I saw a lot of leaking coming out of the fuel filler tube, between the metal tube and the plastic cover surrounding the tube. When I got home, I cut off the plastic tube about halfway and found a static wire running the length of the tube. Everywhere, where this wire touched to metal pipe, it was corroded completely through. The static wire is of a different material and was not corroded. Presently I have wrapped the tube with a gasoline resistant tape. But, I will have to replace the tube soon. The local dealership has quoted approx. $241. 00 without installation. Are there other instances like this and is there a recall I'm not aware of. Thank you for your time.
