Description of the problem	The gas tank strap on my 2001 f-150 rusted completely through. The tank has 2 straps holding the tank up inside the frame. The front one was intact and the rear strap rusted completely in two. My friend noticed my gas tank was hanging down slightly and i was shocked to see the condition of the rear strap. I drove home slow avoiding potholes,etc. And called an auto parts store to order a new strap. I wanted to go with a ford part but they only came as a set and cost much more than the auto parts store. I'm concerned someone may not notice this condition until their gas tank goes rolling down the highway.
