Consumer Description

ENGINE DID NOT RUN DUE TO FUEL TANK COATING COMING OFF. THIS COATING IS THERE TO PROVIDE ADDED ASSURANCE THAT THERE BE NO FUEL LEAK (AND A FIRE) IF THE PLASTIC WALL OF THE TANK LEAKS (ON ITS OWN OR AFTER A CRASH). THUS THERE IS A FIRE SAFETY HAZARD.*AK THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE TANK (EVEN AFTER 3 RECURANCES OF THE ENGNE RUNNING PROBLEM, DUE TO THE COATING COMING OFF THE TANK WALL AND CLOGGING THE FUEL FILTER AND - IN 1 CASE - EVEN THE FUEL PUMP). THEY, INSTEAD, FLUSH THE TANK (REMOVING EVEN MORE COATING) AND RE-INSTAL IT. I AM NOW USING A TANK WITH PROBABLY VERY LITTLE FIRE-PROTECTION COATING. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM.
