| 1999 | STRUCTURE | DRIVING DOWN THE I94 FREEWAY IN MICHIGAN WITH MY WIFE, 2 CHILDREN, 7 AND 5,GOING ABOUT 70 MPH AND HEARD A NOISE LIKE A MUFFLER DRAGGING OR SOMETHING. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND FOUND MY GAS TANK DRAGGING UNDER THE TRUCK. FRONT STRAP RUSTED AND BROKE OFF AND TANK WAS BEING PUSHED FORWARD, ALMOST GRINDING ALL THE WAY THROUGH! THE TANK WAS BEING HELD UP BY THE PLASTIC REAR STRAP HOLDER AND THE GAS FILLER TUBE. THE BACK STRAP WAS ALSO RUSTED THROUGH! HAD TO JACK UP THE TANK WITH BOTTLE JACK AND PIECES OF 2X4 FOUND ALONG THE FREEWAY. WAITED FOR FATHER IN LAW TO BRING RATCHET STRAPS TO LIFT UP VERY HEAVY FULL TANK WHILE LYING ON MY BACK ON THE FREEWAY. MY FAMILY WAS TERRIFIED! *TR |
