WTH...Smelling gas/Fuel pump went out

Tiffany,
If you could shoot me a picture that would be great. This way I can tell what I could do, since I currently have 2 options in my head and a third would be great.

Thanks

OK I'll see what I can do...in the meantime post #4 on this thread is where I listed the part # for the hard fuel line. GM part #15181574. I was told by several different dealers that it had been discontinued. Maybe you can search for it and get lucky. Somebody's bound to have one sitting on a shelf unused.

Entered the part number in a Google search and came up with this http://autoplicity.com/compareproducts.aspx

It may not be in stock :-(

Yes I actually ordered it from them, but a day later received an email saying sorry, but the item you ordered is not available and issued me a refund.

I kinda figured that :-( Funny a person can still find OEM brake lines for a 1995-1999 Dodge Neon but we are out of luck on a lot of parts for our trucks

Yep. And this is what scares me.

But then again a little ingenuity and a usually a far few less dollars and it is possible to fix most things and do it just as good or better (ie. when I permanently repaired my trans shifter for 8 dollars versus 125 bux)

Just sent u a PM

I just had to replace my fuel pump because of this issue. The pump didn't fail but the lock ring holding the pump in place rusted out completely. It was so bad that on a full tank gas would spew out the top of the gas tank. Had rust and all types of other sediments in the tank. I had to drain all fuel, wipe the tank clean and refill once the new pump was in place. It was nasty!

[BUNNY15]

I wonder why so much rust? Winter road salt maybe?

[Bro]

It's the way the tank is designed... It's inevitable that debris, salt, dirt etc. will get on top of the tank and be trapped there. It leads to tons of corrosion around the pump which is a metal top.

When you replace the pump go with the Delphi model as it has a hard plastic topping to the fuel pump. I had an evap leak P0455 code for about a year until I took the tank down and discovered a leak around the seal.

Gotcha!
