FUEL WAS POURING OUT FROM THE TOP PORTION OF THE FUEL TANK, ON MY YEAR 2000 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 2500 WHERE THE LINE GOES INTO THE PUMP AT THE TANK.

WE BOUGHT OUR 2000 SUBURBAN IN 2002 WITH ONLY 3000 MILES .THIS WAS A SECRET SERVICE FLEET VEHICLE WITH HARDLY ANY MILES ON IT . WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE TO DATE WITH ONLY 88,727MILES ON IT. LAST SUMMER AFTER PULLING OUR 31 FOOT CAMPER BACK FROM VACATION I NOTICED THAT I WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID IN OUR DRIVE WAY. I WAS GLAD THAT WE MADE IT HOME WITH NO INCIDENT. WE HAVE NOT USED THE TRUCK SENSE THAT TIME .I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK ONLY TO SEE ALL MY BRAKE LINES CORRODED AND LEAKING. THEY OFFER AFTERMARKET BRAKES IN STAINLESS STEEL LINES. WHY DON'T ALL THE AUTOMOTIVE COMPANIES PUT THE STAINLESS LINES ON THERE VEHICLES. IT CAN'T BE THAT MUCH MORE FOR PEACE OF MIND. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY I HAVE A 1996 CHEVY TAHOE THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND HAS 132000 MILES ON IT WITH BRAKE LINES THAT DON'T LEAK. I CAN TELL , AND SHOW ANYONE THAT GM USED AN INFERIOR METAL FOR BRAKE LINES AT LEAST IN MY 2000 SUBURBAN. *TR
