8 Fuel Pump problem of the 1997 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 02/04/2011

This truck was bought new in 1997 and I have owned it and maintained it in good running order since then. I was stopped at a light when the truck suddenly stopped running. After having it towed to my home and doing some trouble shooting I determined the fuel pump was not working. I removed the gas tank and after removing the fuel pump discovered the grey wire to the pump had the insulation burned off for approximately one and a half inches. This damage was on the inside of the gas tank. The plug that the wire goes through was charred and melted away. I have taken pictures of the assembly and damage and have notified gm of the incident. I am amazed that this did not result in an explosion or a fire. The heat generated to melt the wire and plug is extensive. The plug was melted to the point it exposed it internal wiring. I understand that most cars and trucks have this type of assembly installed. The assembly that holds the fuel pump is original equipment. I would be more than willing to share the photos or the assembly for failure analysis.
