NHTSA Complaint #10511447 — 2013 CHEVROLET EXPRESS

THIS IS A C CLASS RV BY THOR MOTOR COACH. THE COACH SERIAL NUMBER IS [XXX]. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TAKE FUEL. I BOUGHT IT TO TWO CHEVROLET DEALERS WHO WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT HAD A MOTORHOME BODY. ONE DEALER HOOKED IT UP TO A FAULT FINDER AND FOUND THERE WAS A FUEL VENTING PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THE MOTOR COACH MANUFACTURER HAD CHANGED THE FUEL VENTING SYSTEM AND MOVED THE TANK. I FINALLY WAS SERVICED, UNDER WARRANTY, BY AN RV DEALER IN TULSA OKLAHOMA. THEY TOLD ME THE FUEL TANK HAD BEEN MOVED WHICH CAUSED A KINK IN THE FUEL FILLER HOSE TO THE TANK. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS SOLVED BY CUTTING A SECTION OF THE FUEL FILLER HOSE TO MAKE IT SHORTER AND ELIMINATING THE KINK. MY CONCERN IS IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT WILL FUEL NOW LEAK? THIS IS A MEDIUM DUTY CHEVROLET CHASSIS SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF THE SAME STANDARDS APPLY AS DO CARS RE. FUEL CUTOFF WITH ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS OR IF I SHOULD REPORT THIS TO ANOTHER AGENCY? THANK YOU.
