Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2004 GMC Yukon

Spring of 2013 I lost my brakes ,lines and connectors totally rusted out (replaced). July 2013 my full tank of gas poured out all over the ground. Sending unit ,feed line, return line totally rotted and blew out. But the pump still worked. Lol (all replaced). I bought this truck with 70000 miles on it at 5 years old. From a Volvo dealership. I only put 10000 miles on it in approximately 4 years. I keep it well maintained and change the oil every 3000 miles. Whats next? I have driven trucks for 35 years now. Never had anything like this happen before. What gives with these crappy made parts!!!!! . Make them in the u. S. A. !!!!. . Who are the engineers designing this vehicles. Thy make it hard for the mechanics to work on without having to disassemble everything to get to the repair thats needed! headache for them and $$$$$ unnecessary unsafe for us!!.

My son and I were going north on rt 1 in rehoboth beach and stopped at a light and smelled gas. I pulled over to the side of the road and looked under the car and gas was leaking fast from the top of the gas tank. Took it straight up to my mechanic john at emery chassisworks and left it for him to check. He found the metal gas pump has rusted out on top and was pumping gas all over. . He said he only found one other Yukon with that problem. All the others had a plastic top (that could not rust). This was extremely dangerous (any cigarette, spark, etc. ) and we were blown up. Why didn't I have the gas pump on top of the gas tank with a plastic top that doesn't rust. Very dangerous.

Fuel gague is eratic, most often showing the tank empty when up to half full.
