Description of the problem	After purchasing this used 4wd f-150 i filled the tank and noticed the smell gasoline. Inspection of the fuel system revealed the rear gas tank support strap had rusted through. This allowed the tank to drop down and rest on the rock guard for the tank. Operation of the truck in this state caused vibrations to wear through the tank resulting in the fuel leak. Were it not for the rock guard (on 4wd models only) the tank may have fallen off or at a minimum left hanging from the front strap and the fuel line connections.
