2001, GMC Yukon, vehicle had gasoline leakage, consumer could smell leak, check engine light came on. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer twice, and dealer ran test T and he check engine light went off after the test. Dealer reset button. This did not fix gasoline smell. Consumer took vehicle to dealer a third time, and dealer found leak in the gas tank which is currently being fixed at consumer' S expense.
When driving, the engine light appeared on the dashboard. The consumer pulled the vehicle over and parked the vehicle on a slight incline, and smelled a gas odor. The consumer got out of the vehicle to investigate the smell, and noticed fuel leaking from the fuel tank. The consumer drove the vehicle to the dealership for inspection, and the mechanic determined that the fuel pump wiring failed, causing the fuel to leak from the fuel tank. A small leak was found in the evaporative fuel system. The consumer noticed gas leaking at a rate of a quart per 5 minutes and appeared to be coming from the top of the tank. The mechanic found fuel leaking from around the connector which housed wires from the fuel pump and the fuel level sensor.
