Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTERS 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE FILLER TUBE. TUBE RUSTED OUT PREMATURELY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE DESIGN OF A TUBE COVER THAT ALLOWS DIRT AND MUD TO COLLECT AROUND THE TUBE WHERE IT BENDS AND CAUSES PREMATURE RUST THROUGH. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND HAVE PERFORMED RECALLS IN THE PAST ON OTHER VEHICLES AND THIS IS A POOR DESIGN THAT COULD USE SOME INVESTIGATION. I AM REPLACING THE PART WITH THE FACTORY ORIGINAL AND WILL BE ADDING A COVER THAT WILL BLOCK THE ENTRY OF DIRT AND MUD FROM AROUND THE TUBE. *TR
