Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of 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.

The fuel transfer pump, which moves fuel from the rear tank to the front tank has malfunctioned. This has caused the fuel gauge to read inaccurately, causing engine to stop running, has illuminated the service engine light multiple times, displaying code p2068 and p0463. Vehicle can run out of fuel unexpectedly, due to gauge showing more fuel than is available. This has caused the engine to stall unexpectedly. This problem is exactly as described in recall document 13421 from gm, however, the VIN number of my vehicle is not included in the recall. I had an independent auto repair shop verify the cause of the service engine light codes, and their findings are consistent with mine. The vehicle has 98,000 mile. I am the original owner. I have spoke with gm customer service department, who is looking in to this, however has not yet responded to my complaint. I am awaiting their response in the next 24 hrs. Thank you.

Truck would not start. Second time this has occurred. First time transfer pump was exchanged. Now being told it is requiring front and rear tank level sensors. Twice have been stranded in this vehicle for fuel issues. Prior issue occurred while truck was driving on a street. This time, when trying to restart after completing a delivery.

Gas exploded out the top of the tank - causing gas to flow out of the top. No fire started since it happened right as the firetruck was passing the area. They heard the noise and smelled the gas. They disconnected the battery and marked off the area. They also assisted in cleaning up the spill. Vehicle was in motion when the explosion took place and they continued to coast to a safe spot since the truck no longer was getting fuel.

P2636 transfer pump insufficient flow - vehicle stalled while driving, unable to restart. Towed into dealership to find transfer pump which transfers fuel from rear to front tank had failed. Vehicle has 37,880 miles at time of incident. Believe this to be recurring issue, which should be addressed with manufacturer.
