6 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/26/2005

I own a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer. When my vehicle had 62,509 mileage I parked the vehicle at a friend's house. The vehicle leaked a large puddle of fuel on his newly sealed driveway. When I took it in to service the fuel level sender was replaced because the inlet and/or outlet tubes on top of the fuel sender were corroded and leaking fuel. This was a premature failure since the design should have been validated to 100,000 miles +.
