I just bought this 2001 Silverado 3500 6.0l and this part appears to be damaged.

I'm trying to find the part name so I can order a replacement also any help on the proper process would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

 

It is located on the top side of the fuel tank at the opposite side as the fuel pump. There is a tube the runs it up to the evap system located on the front of the tank.

 

found another image of it. its the blue part.

 

probably an evap vent line fitting

 

Searching for that doesn't provide me with any parts it's like every other part in the whole system I can find but the broken one.

 

All parts available on rockauto.com

the fitting is part of fuel tank



vent line is part of emissions/evap vent system

 

Cool
I guess that's what I get for buying a truck for 3 grand.

 

Maybe you could salvage that with something like JB Weld??

 

Maybe not sure if it's necessary I just kept smelling gas.

 

Smelling gas is a concern for fire hazard - fix it before using the vehicle!
