| Smelled gas in garage and moved vehicle outside garage to investigate. found puddle of gas on garage floor where vehicle had been parked. crawled under vehicle and found two braided fuel lines crossing each other and resting on one another. they had worn a hole in the braided fuel line and was leaking a substantial amount of fuel. took to local repair shop for repair. mechanic had to custom rebuild fuel line to avoid criss-cross route originally installed. mechanic very concerned with existing design - pressurized braided fuel line was spewing fuel beneath vehicle. this appears to be a common problem as a quick search on http://www.aboutautomobile.com/ under consumer complaints finds quite a few related instances with both the 2005 avalanches and suburbans. reference complaint numbers: 10465537, 10402272, 10384217, 10275857, 10417685, 10373464, 10401501. i didn't search other model years. *tr | |||
