Description of the problem | I found one of the gas tank retaining straps broken on my 2001 ford f-150. I am currently checking with suppliers for replacement fuel tank straps and found that these straps are being investigated as a vehicle defect. Updated 08/01/11 *bf the consumer stated one of the tanks straps broke and it broke at the bend of the strap where it wraps around one of the bottom corners of the tank. There was no spill, since the remaining tank strap and what remained of the broken strap supported the tank. Aside from the break, the tank straps appeared normal. Updated 08/02/11 |
