| The sending unit on the fuel tank had to be replaced because of severe corrosion on the fuel line leading from the tank to the engine and on the return line. shouldn't these pressurized fuel lines be more resistant to corrosion than the tank? a hole eaten in the tank will leak onto the ground. a hole in these lines will spray fuel on the underside of the truck. thank you. | |||
