Consumer Description

SMELLED RAW GAS FROM THE TRUCK THIS PAST WEEKEND. JUST PURCHASED THE TUCK LAST MONTH. I FOUND THAT THE SEAM ON THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING GAS. I TRANSFED THE FUEL FROM THE FRONT TANK TO THE REAR,WHICH IS ALSO HEAVY RUSTED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, THE COST FOR A NEW TANK IS $175.00 FOR THE FRONT AND A LITTLE LESS FOR THE REAR PLUS LABOR AND ANYOTHER PARTS THAT MAY BE NEEDED. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO FIRE AS THE TANK WAS NEAR FULL, WITHIN FIVE GALLONS OF FULL!!!! I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEALER DOES NOR WANT TO COVER THIS COST OR EVEN PARTAKE IN IT AS SO MANY REPORTS OF LEAKING TANKS HAVE SURFACED, IN FACT THEY HAD ANOTHER CALL THE SAME MORNING FOR ANOTHER LEAKING TANK. FORD SHOULD BE HELD TO REPAIR THE TANK PROBLEMS BEFORE ANYONE IS KILLED.*AK
