It's occurring on a regular interval and it's getting to the point that I cant rely on my vehicle to start as normal. Please let there be a recall on getting the manufacturer general motors to fix this on my Colorado as it's the only fault on this vehicle. …”

Upon later examination, I found where the pressurized plastic fuel line had ruptured. The rupture was on the top of the plastic fuel line toward the front of the gas tank. …”
