Description of the problem | While having my 2001 ford f-150 4wd super cab (205,000miles) serviced, it was discovered that the rear fuel tank strap is completely rusted out and the front strap is ready to fail at any time. Had the defect not been noticed at this time, the tank would have dropped from the vehicle to the road at any time. Replacement straps are being ordered. |
