Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Vehicle developed a fuel leak in the return fuel line located at the tank. The fuel line is made of plastic, it has no protection around the fuel line, and is located where natural debris may collect. In this particular incident an acorn became lodged next to fuel line and wore a hole in it. The result was a fuel leak only when the vehicle is running/driven, and I was driving the vehicle at the time this occurred. The area where this fuel leak occurs is also directly opposite of the diesel exhaust system which reaches 1200 degrees during the regeneration process. While driving with this leak the wind turbulence created under the vehicle caused diesel fuel to be distributed across the entire underside of the truck including the exhaust system which could have caused a fire. There have been vehicle fires reported but since the lines are plastic any evidence of them being damaged is destroyed and the true cause of the fire left undetermined. This design defect should be looked at and corrected immediately to prevent any further property damage and harm to the public at large. I had the vehicle repaired and the dealer claims a rodent chewed through the line and caused the leak. The vehicle is garaged kept and I do not live on a farm, plus there are many other items in the garage that a rodent would prefer over the fuel line. I have a video and the fuel line and the 2 acorns. The problem could have been prevented either by putting a shield to stop the debris from entering, moving the tank back 4 inches, and/or wrapping the fuel lines with a protective covering.
