Problem overview

Some Pontiac G6 owners report experiencing fuel tank gas leak issues, often attributed to cracks in the fuel pump that can lead to significant fuel leakage. If diagnostic tests indicate a faulty fuel pump, these owners emphasize the importance of prompt replacement to ensure safety. The replacement process typically requires disconnecting the car's battery, relieving fuel system pressure, and accessing the fuel pump, which may involve removing the gas tank cap and disconnecting the electrical connector. Symptoms of these leaks can include a strong fuel odor, fuel pooling on the garage floor, and fuel spraying from the top of the tank during pump priming. Addressing these issues quickly is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure safe vehicle operation.
