Description of the problem	My wife and i bought the vehicle new. It was always kept in a garage and driven very little. As of today it only has 30,000 miles on it. To begin with, on or near march 2007 after exiting the vehicle i noticed a strong smell of gasoline. I looked under the car and i saw a fairly heavy dripping of gas from the top of the gas tank. I drove it to a mechanic that i have been using for many years. He told me that he had a hard time finding where the gas was coming from but with a mirror , he was able to see that it was coming from the fuel pump or what he called the fuel sending unit. He said it appearred to be coming from the pump in thr top of the tank and that it was badly rusted and needed to be replaced. I called the dealer from who we had bought the tahoe and asked if there were any recalls to this. They said no. I should also tell you that the mechanic told me that he had replaced many of this same tanks. He said it was built in such a way as to be shaped like a bowl and that the water just laid in it. It cost me 750. 00 to get a new fuel sending unit put in. About 4 years later, the exact same thing happened. The entire top of the pump was rusted out and again gas leaked out . Enough gas leaked out to almost cover my entire garage floor. This really kind of scared me. Even just any kink of a small spark and not only me but my hole house with five other people not might of got hurt, with this much gas we would have been dead.. Again i checked for recalls of which there were none and ended having again a new fuel pump installed. The only difference being that he.
