1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT 11 PM LAST NIGHT, AFTER I DROVE OVER A SMALL BUMP, THE GAS TANK STRAPS ON MY 1999 FORD F150 BROKE, CAUSING THE GAS TANK TO FALL TO THE GROUND AND LEAK A FULL TANK OF GASOLINE ONTO THE STREET. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO FIRE, BUT I NEEDED TO CONTACT THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT IN ORDER TO HAVE THE GASOLINE CLEANED UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND I AM CURRENTLY AWAITING CONTACT FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. UPDATED 09/14/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE STRAPS BROKE OFF COMPLETELY AND HE DROVE A BLOCK WITHOUT RECOVERING THEM. THE METAL PORTIONS OF THE STRAPS WERE RUSTED PRIOR TO THE BREAK.
