| Description of the problem | My truck was parked at work and at the end of the day it wouldn't start. Had it towed home and i determined that the fuel pump failed. The next day i lifted the bed to replace it and i was shocked to see the whole top of the tank's locking ring tangs were all rusted away and the pump was just sitting in the tank crooked. If it was filled full or in an accident fuel would've slooshed out of the tank. On a rollover the entire tank will empty. |
