Consumer Description

MY GAS FILLER TUBE HAS RUSTED DUE TO THE PLASTIC SHIELD, DIRT AND MOISTURE HAS BEEN TRAPPED ON THIS PART OF MY 01 MUSTANG AND NOW THERE IS A HUGE HOLE ON THE FILLER TUBE. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH ON A COUPLE FORUMS AND APPARENTLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE ON MODELS FROM 2000-2004 I'M PRETTY SURE WE ALL KNOW HOW SERIOUS THIS PROBLEM IS SEEING THAT FUEL IS LEAKING TO THE GROUND WHICH IS A FIRE HAZARD AND CAN RESULT IN A FATALITY. *TR
