Has anyone had corrosion problems on the tank to fuel pump line on a 06 or an 04 ?If so where along the length of the fuel line gave the problem ? I feel I am experencing air entering the fuel some times. When I can,t get full throtel even when parked.
It would be great to know where to look
Thanks

Hi John:
If a fuel line problem occurs at the tank or in the engine compartment, it is usually visable in that you see fuel leaking.
The next most common area for deteriorated fuel lines on the GM's is where the fuel lines are exposed in the area above the rear axle.
If you can SAFELY work under your coach, look above the rear axle, after checking the visable areas mentioned above & you may find a corroded fuel line, which can be sectioned, to solve the problem.
I Hope this HELPS!!!

Easiest way to troubble shoot is to disconnect the suction line fitting at the top of the tank & plug it.
Then pressureize the line from the engine , thru the filter with about 30psi of diesel.
Should be able to see the air leak as it bleeds fuel.
Do not pressurize plastic , only stock steel filter shells.
Start after the filter with plastic filters.
You will have to remove the check valve for this to work , but a leaking fuel check valve could be the problem , so no labor will be waisted.

John - I can ditto what Luke said. Even if you find no leaks in the fuel lines above the rear axel, if they are corroded replace them at your convience rather than their's. |
