I have a 2003 chevy Trailblazer and the service engine soon light was on. I took it to the dealership to have it looked at and they said the gas tank inlet line had a crack in it and I needed a new tank, it would cost $906. I did some research and there is a special policy adjustment #05012 for 2002 Trailblazers. The dealership said they would replace it for free cause they are the same tanks on the 2002 and 2003, but I still had to pay $87. 00 for the diagnostic fee. I told the dealership and customer service all the vehicles should be recalled and changed before someone gets seriously hurt from on exploding. They told me they are doing something about it, they are replacing my tank. But what about all the other tanks out there that could be leaking, and if someone rear ends them, or a elect short causes a spark, a cigarette being flicked out the window, someone needs to do something about it before someone get killed.

The problem is that my 2004 Chevrolet trail blazer spits up fuel back out of the fuel tank after filling up the tank. I am not trying to top off. Everytime I fill up, fuel spits back out from the tank after I remove the fuel pump. I have taken my car to the dealer twice now, they are on their third attempt to fix the problem. It happened several times before I took my car in to the dealer. I thought maybe it was the gas station I was using. So I tried several different pumps in different cities and the same thing happened. That's when I decided to take the car in for service.

I have had my vehicle for less than a month and filled it with gasoline 6 times in two cities at different gas stations. I never have topped off the tank, but when the fuel pump handle clicks off, the gasoline pours out from the tank under my vehicle. It never matters how much fuel I put in the vehicle it always "over flows. ".

The gas intake pipe allows gas to spill out when fueling 2003 Trailblazer. Basically, the fuel pumps at all gas stations I use do not shut off when fueling and gas overflows onto the ground. The dealer has ordered a replacement part but no recall is out. This is a fire hazard and safety concern.

My 2002 Trailblazer began leaking gas around the fuel filter connection. My guess is a rate of around 5 gallons in 20 minutes. Vehicle kept running. Vehicle has a recall on this with NHTSA campaign number 02v121000. I belieive I had this recall 02016 - fuel filter connect performed by hendrick pontiac Buick on 6/4/02 . The recall has the following decription on the NHTSA database: on certain sport utility vehicles, a fuel filter fitting can become disconnected. If this were to occur while attempting to start the engine, a no-start condition would result and fuel would be pumped out the fuel filter onto the ground. If the fitting becomes disconnected while the vehicle is in motion, the engine would stop due to inadequate fuel supply and cause a loss of power steering assist. If an ignition source were present, fuel leakage from a disconnected fuel filter fitting could result in a fire. Dealers will replace the fuel filter quick connect retainers. I examined the filter connect and found the snap-on part of the filter was not snapped into the holes in the hose connection. The snap was actually rotated about 90 degrees. This was not holding the hose in all the way but just enough to cause a major gas leak and to send gas to the engine. I believe the fuel filter connects are a bad design. 1 of 3 things went wrong. 1) the recall was never performed even though the service paperwork said it was. Gm needs to replace the connectors because they are poorly designed and can cause a fire/explosion. 2) a certified gm technician installed the connection to the filter improperly. The connection should be designed so that it automatically aligns itself to the snap or does not slide on. This is not a technician problem, it is a problem with the design of the snap connections. 3) the connection worked itself worked loose over time with the regular bumps of everyday driving. In this case, it is also a problem with the design of the snap connection.

Fuel line disconnected while driving at highway speed of 50 mph, took vehicle to dealer for repairs. Dealer found vehicle had severe gas leak due to retainer failure. Fuel line filter retainers had to be replaced.
