1997
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JUST FILLED THE TRUCK WITH GAS. WAS DRIVING ON A WASHBOARD DIRT ROAD. THE FRONT OF THE GAS TANK DROPPED ONTO THE ROAD AND DRAGGED. TANK WAS PUNCTURED AND SEVERAL GALLONS OF GAS LEAKED OUT SLOWLY. I USED A WRATCHET STRAP TO LIFT THE TANK OFF THE ROAD AND SECURE IT. PATCHED THE TANK WITH A SEALER FROM THE AUTO PARTS STORE BUT BY NEXT MORNING IT WAS LEAKING AGAIN. PURCHASED A USED TANK AND STRAPS FROM A JUNKYARD FOR $150. THE ORIGINAL TANK IS IN MY JUNKPILE IF YOU'D LIKE IT. GLAD TO SEE THIS PROBLEM IS BEING CORRECTED. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON AN ASPHALT ROAD I'D PROBABLY BE IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW. *KB
