Re: Venture gasoline leak

Hi, The info is much appreciated, thanks, and I know it is correct. My main gripe is that GM should've prevented the fuel line from being allowed to rust through (especially in a vehicle only 5 years old), since it could potentially cause a fire or explosion, with possibly even fatal consequences. I really feel they have some liability on this, don't you agree?

I have replaced the metal fuel lines on one of these vans and it is not a fun job.
They run through a pocket in the body and it is necessary to remove the steering gear and lower the back half of the engine cradle down to get them in and out.
600 to replace..go for it,because the next one I get, I will charge a lot more...not worth the aggrevation :banghead:
