discount on GM parts??

[09_4WD_YUKON]

Anybody have a hookup for ordering GM parts thru dealer or website? I have to change my fuel tank due to the slow fueling crap and tank is only available from GM and the cheapest I have found it is $610. So, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

There are lots of causes for this, and to my knowledge, none of them require replacing the tank to fix. The vent system components are the usual culprits, and are outside the tank and can be replaced separately.

Ya, I agree, it's not the tank.

I dropped mine to replace the pump and did not get all the hose's tight on the vapor system, bingo, slow fuel problem. Tighten same,and it was gone...

All has been replaced, lines have been cleared and still have the slow fill. Was told the only thing left to fix is to replace the tank itself. If you have any more ideas, please tell me and I will be ecstatic to try!!

Wish it was that simple, but I don't think so. Only lines that have been removed are the evap lines from the canister and purge valve and solenoid.

Honestly, check with a salvage yard.

Also make sure you do not have an obstruction in fill tube...

Just found one about 20 miles from me...guy parting out a Tahoe. He said no issues with filling the tank and wants $100 for it. Guess I'll start there!!

And fill tube is clear....took it off couple of weekends ago.

Keep us posted on the outcome. I am curious about this as well after all of our discussions in the other thread.

Like @kbuskill said, keep us updated on the progress because, like the others have said here, never seen where the tank was the problem.

So the saga continues.......this mf'er here!!! LOL, went and got the gas tank, traded the tires for it. Awesome, no cost to me, which is great at the moment. Went to get gas, gonna be a minute before I can get to changing the tank. Went to a different station that I have not used in a long time and start pumping. Start out slow, kicks off a few times, so I said screw...went full tilt on the pump and I be damn if I didn't pump $52 in under 3 minutes (if that long). But we shall see, my kind of luck tho!!

There’s nothing that a tank itself can do to slow the filling. It’s something else. Keep us posted.
