I discovered that the rubber hose connecting the fuel fill tube to the gas tank was broken loose from the gas tank today. The plastic piece connecting the hose to the tank is what is broken. I checked online and found a recall for this part for my year/make/model, but my VIN was not covered according to the rep I spoke with on the phone. The recall info online stated that GM's remedy for the recall was to replace the entire gas tank. I'm trying to find out if that is what I'm going to have to do or if there is a way to replace just the ICV. It's hard to tell if it pressed in place or if it is threaded onto the tank. I also haven't been able to find the ICV online at any of the generic parts places, but discovered the problem too late in the day to check the dealer. Thank you for whatever guidance you can provide.
