Consumer Description

FUEL TANK HAS METAL TABS TO LOCK FUEL PUMP IN POSITION. WATER CAN COLLECT WITH ROAD SALTS TO EAT AWAY THE LOCKING TABS WHICH ALLOWS THE FUEL TO LEAK OUT NEXT TO HOT EXHAUST WHICH CAN CAUSE FIRE. WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK THE FUEL WILL SEEP OUT BECAUSE THE LOCKING TABS NO LONGER HOLD THE PUMP IN PLACE. THIS LEAKED FUEL CAN CAUSE FIRE, AND ALLOW FUEL TO POOL UNDER THE VEHICLE CAUSING FUEL SPILLS.
