Consumer Description

I NOTICED A FUEL LEAK WHEN I FILLED UP MY TANK. IT WAS QUITE BAD! AND WAS A DEFINITE SAFETY RISK! I CHECKED UNDER CAR AND FOUND THE FUEL NECK HAS A PLASTIC COVER TO PROTECT FROM ROAD HAZARDS?? THAT PLASTIC COVER ALLOWS DIRT AND MOISTURE TO COLLECT AROUND THE FUEL NECK. THE NECK INSIDE WAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. THERE IS ESSENTIALLY A 2 INCH HOLE IN THE FUEL NECK! I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL NECK TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I CHECKED ONLINE AND APPARENTLY THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH 1999 - 2004 MUSTANGS. IT'S ALSO VERY DANGEROUS SINCE GAS COMES POURING OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. *TR
