| Noticed a strong gas odor in the garage. i couldn't see any leakage until i started (pressurized the fuel lines). i noticed a braided area of the fuel lines that cross over each other, touching, which caused them to rub together creating a pin hole in each line. when pressurized, they shoot fuel out. luckily, they didn't cause a fire as we had just finished a 700 mile trip with our grand kids. the shop wants $805 to replace the lines. this is a safety hazard that should be recalled. very dangerous!!! ## vin failed ## 2005 chevy avalanche ## *tr | |||
