| We have a 1999 chevy 2500 with approximately 52,000 miles on it. we've noticed all along that the gas gauge has not functioned correctly. yesterday, i approached the vehicle and smelled gas. i looked under the pickup and saw gas dripping from the fuel tank area. i took the pickup to my local dealer (young motor) here in lyons. the service manager told me that the emission control unit that vents the gas tank was plugged thus causing the fuel pump to suck in the fuel tank. as the tank collapsed, it pushed the sending unit/fuel pump upwards. i just checked our 2000 chevy pickup and the same thing is happening to it. reading through the owners manual, there is nothing stating that this vent needs to be cleaned. we also have a 1998 chevy 2500 that had the same problem and we had to replace the gas tank on it. within our company, there have been reports of other chevy pickups having the same problem. we have 3 at this location: a 1998 sn:1gcgk24r8wz224103, the 1999 sn:1gcgk24r4xr701935, and a 2000 sn:1gcgc24r5yr204892. i find it more than a coincidence that all 3 of these vehicles are having the same problem and there is nothing in the owner's manual addressing the issue. *jb | |||
