Consumer Description

THE REAR GAS TANK STRAP SNAPPED ON THE VEHICLE (THE STRAP SIDE FACING TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE). THE STRAP FAILED DUE TO RUST. THE STRAP MUST HAVE SNAPPED WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. HOWEVER, I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE STRAP HAD FAILED UNTIL I HAPPENED TO BE STANDING BEHIND THE VEHICLE ONE DAY AND NOTICED THE TANK SAGGING. THEREFORE, I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY DAYS THAT I HAD BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH THE TANK HANGING, SUPPORTED ONLY BY THE FRONT STRAP. BUT I THINK THAT POSSIBLY I NOTICED THE FAILURE WITHIN ONE DAY OF THE FAILURE. THE RED STRAP IN THE PHOTO IS MY TEMPORARY SUPPORT UNTIL I CAN HAVE THE STRAPS REPLACED.
