Man, I've been having some weird fuel related issues, I hope mines not in that rough of shape.

Looks like the repair job should hold up though. Good job.

You should not have these rust issues living out there

Yeah, that buildup on the top of the tank is sand, salt, dirt and rust from being in upstate NY. AZ should be fine, might not even have any rust at all, just a pile of sand.

Good work man, you got me worried about my sending unit since I am sitting at 221k miles now..

You said I can just pull the fender liner out and access the top of the tank right, or is it easier to pull the tank?

Re: The Insanity Project - New Pics

Way easier to pull the fender liner to check first. Might not be a reason to pull the tank at all.

Andy; Great job finding the fix & I think she's good for another 10-15 yrs with your proprietary GM seal. I'm going to take a peek at mine today...hope she's not showing nearly as much rust/corrosion.

good luck man, take pics - I have a sinking feeling that an unfixable p0455 with other symptoms is going to result from this issue for a ton of other members - and I'm sure none of them want to sink $1k into a new gas tank to get those retainer clips replaced on the top of the tank.

Yeah, good points. Now to determine why I'm leaking gas when I fill up and starving at low fuel :th_woot:

Is the gas smell from the front or the rear of the truck @irish350

Nice troubleshooting work & thanks for sharing. I bet the celebratory beer after that fix worked tasted damn good.

Latest replacement/update

New calipers with G2 epoxy and Goodridge 4-14195 stainless braided lines, amsoil 500 series dot3.

 

[colbyjohnson1994]

Re: The Insanity Project - New Pics

How are the stainless lines?

Re: The Insanity Project - New Pics

Don't leave home without em. Takes some squish out of the braking and definitely transmits some more firmness/feedback thru the pedal.

These may be in future mods....

I just started payments on new rubbers and bought 2 wheels today. Getting closer to having a nice set of shoes on the truck :th_woot:
