Bosch fuel pump is failing sending metal filings throughout the engine. Gm is aware of the problem on vehicle years 2011-2106 but has not issued a recall. Cost to repair 10,600. 00 plus loss of vehicle since the repair takes over 40 hours.
While traveling on interstate 80, in iowa, the fuel transfer pump on rear fuel tank malfunctioned causing a pressurization of the forward fuel tank which resulted in fuel spray to from the forward fuel tank fill-neck. To stop the continuous loss of fuel , I had to pull fuse #18 from fuse box under hood for the rear fuel tank fuel transfer pump to shut it off. Rear fuel tank capacity is 40 gallons and forward fuel tank is 23. 5. I estimate a loss of 20 gallons on highway before I discovered the problem. This system runs the engine from the forward fuel tank, and the forward fuel tank level is maintained by a fuel pump which draws from the rear tank, not certain what caused this failure but if I had been sleeping in the truck, which I do as I operate this truck commercially for transport of RV's, there is a good change that the loss of over 20 gallons on the ground could have ignited. Truck has been in shop for 3 days as of 11/7/14 and they have been unable to determine cause of malfunction.
