<VV> Fuel Tank Collapse

[Grant Young]

GM had a problem with collapsing tanks when they went to plastic. I had one replaced on my 1995 Impala SS because when it got low on fuel the tank would partially collapse - resulting in a tow to home, and then it would be fine when it was backed off the tow truck. Heard it was a problem for several years until they made the tank stronger.
