Consumer Description

DEFECTIVE/CRACKED RIGHT FUEL TANK (WHERE FUEL PUMP CONNECTED TO FUEL TANK). STRONG FUEL SMELL NOTICED THIS PAST SUMMER, WHILE PARKED IN HOME GARAGE - SMELL WOULD ONLY BE NOTICEABLE AFTER TANK WAS FILLED. TANK REPLACED BY CARR CRAFT, INC., OF PORTAGE, MI., WITH 'ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT' TANK FROM CHEVROLET.

CHEVROLET SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED THAT IT WAS DUE TO "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR", RATHER THAN A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND WOULD NOT CONSIDER COMPENSATION FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE TANK. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT AND IS OWNED BY ORIGINAL PURCHASER.
