[Spridgets] 2010 GMC Hassles and Issues

[oldsaabguy at comcast.net (Lester)]

See I have my nice SAAB 9000, same fundamental setup, fuel pump/sender  
in a nice canister in the fuel tank.  I regularly run the thing on  
fumes with no fuel pump in 150 k miles.  To think that a modern  
vehicle can trash a fuel pump by idling until it runs out of gas is ..  
is...  unthinkable.  Something is rotten in Denmark..
