Description of the problem | Hello, i was driving my 2001, ford f-150 truck with my son in the rear cab on a rainy saturday afternoon in march of this year when the gas tank fell out of it and was dragging on the ground for approximately a tenth of a mile before i pulled over and discovered the problem. It was leaking gas and i was lucky that no spark occurred because the pavement was wet outside. I had the gas tank, straps and fuel pump completely replaced as a result. I also have many pictures documenting the incident. Updated 08/01/11 *bf updated 1/27/2012 *ln |
