fuel pump and leaking fuel tank
I just spent $600 to have my fuel pump and gas tank replaced. After 128,000 miles, the fuel pump just died with no warning. I brought it to the shop and when they took it apart, the fuel tank was cracked at the filler neck. The fuel tank is in a really bad place. My exhaust was completely welded(dual cats), so they had to cut it off, and the most of the rear suspension had to be removed. 4 hours of labor.
$130 pump
$140 tank
$220 labor
$50 exhaust repair
plus tax and environmental charges
I've heard that cracking fuel tanks is a common problem. Did GM ever recall this, or was there a secret TSB about it? It seems to be a safety issue. The thing was probably leaking for years and I didn't know it. Not a good thing since the muffler is right underneath.
