There is a strong smell of gasoline between the bed and cab of my 2013 Silverado 4X4
gasoline is not leaking on the ground.
I was told that it most likely the top of fuel pump that is in the tank is rusted and the tank has to be removed.
They said that it also could be broken evap line or something simple but they have to drop the tank.
I was quoted about $500 for the pump and $700 for labor to remove and replace the tank.
I checked the price of pumps at Rock Auto, Advance, and AZ.
$500 for a factory pump with $300 or $250 for a good one.
There are some crappy ones listed for $150 but I’d rather not go that route.
I checked YouTube and found a few videos that said you can easily tilt the bed to replace the pump instead of dropping the tank so I’m thinking of going that route. I raised the bed on a 2005 Silverado to replace the brake lines 8-9 years ago and it was easy.
Since I don’t need to drive the truck I’ll tilt the bed, clean the area, and see what I need before spending a bunch of money on a pump.
