Kisses, hugs, and now alcohol. Hmm... I'm a pretty big guy but now I'm certainly afraid. I will be bringing my chastity belt and rape whistle for sure.

Hey guys, was just looking through the threads on here about the TSB. I think I have the same issue and was going to try and do this. I was looking at the pictures that are in the thread and was curious about the actual parts you cleaned? Also, I saw that Weiboy posted the GTM Fuel system replacement somewhere and cannot find it AGAIN!

Really just curious about the parts that you guys are cleaning and cleaning it with what? Tryin to do this this weekend if I can!
Thanks

Mine only cuts off at certain pumps, at certain gas stations, which is why I think it could be the pumps rather than the G but I could be wrong. It is an annoyance though hitting E and only being able to pump half a tank into it and it randomly stopping.

I did the fix and it looks like it worked! I did both the passenger and drive side. Filled up today and the needle read all the way up! Looks good so far.

from this morning after work, for those who have done this "fix" and are still around lol - how long did this fix last for? or Should I look at buying a new fuel sender thingy for goodluck instead?

just the weekend before I got 260 miles from a full tank + 64miles range w/ no warning light like this; but since i've filled up since then I get this warning at 166 miles in from a full tank

Either your senders are bad or you have a leak or you spent several hours at the drag strip. That's ridiculously bad mileage.

Came to fill it up and usually at the 1/4 mark or 220 miles range id fill 12 gallons but it went to 14.3

Which was odd then i noticed gas was all over the floor at the gas station dripping like crazy from the bottom so im waiting for a tow truck, been about an hr and the gas didnt leak out too much possibly 2 gallons and now its barely dripping

I don't understand why it leaked/dripped from the bottom though normally if gas over fills wouldnt it be coming from the nozzle ?
