Chevrolet Silverado owners have reported 1 problem related to other fuel system tank mounting (under the other fuel system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
There was no fire, but given the yes or no. . . . There very well could have been given the location of the problem. So I had the transmission removed because of an earlier fault with the transmission and a line blow out. . . And with the transmission removed I could see clearly that the 3 gasoline lines were badly rusted. Given that these lines run from the fuel tank, along the frame than up and over the transfer case and transmission in the area of the muffler as well and than behind the engine to up and over and into the engine,. . . These gasoline lines were clearly not made of stainless steel and they should be. . . The extreme danger of a gasoline line leak, explosion and fire is very real. There is no excuse for not having safe fuel lines on these vehicles. I already seen what can happen with chevy's side mounted fuel tanks. I strongly request that ntsb force all vehicle makers to put stainless steel or heat resistant rubber fuel lines on all vehicles in canada/USA and force a recall on all those that don't.
