Consumer Description

THE LOWER HALF OF THE REAR GAS TANK STRAP HAS ROTTED OUT AND DISLODGED FROM THE UPPER HALF OF THE STRAP. THE FRONT STRAP ALSO HAS VISIBLE CORROSION. A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO FIND THE LOWER HALF OF THE STRAP, AS I WAS MOVING FIREWOOD ON MY PROPERTY. I FEEL BLESSED THAT I FOUND THE ISSUE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING. I BELIEVE IF UNDETECTED, THE RELEASE OF THE GAS FROM THE CHASSIS WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS! *TR
