3 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/29/2008

Gas leaking from top of gas tank on Suburban. It has happened four times since June of 2007. Never know when it is going to happen, doesn't happen all of the time, about every 4 months. It isn't a little but a lot causing a puddle and a horrible gas smell for a couple of days in my vehicle. When this happens everyone around the station is astonished at how much it leaks and that I get in the vehicle and drive off. The service department claims to replace a valve when this happens, but then why does it happen again and again. Last weekend this happened to my family (3 kids under 4 are in the vehicle when this happens) while on vacation. Needless to say I was very scared and on the edge of my seat making sure we were not around anything hot or anybody smoking. As one cigarette would have put our vehicle into shooting flames. We were also all exposed to the fumes all weekend long.
