Description of the problem | My 1995 ford escort lx fuel tank is splitting in half. This is a very dangerous situation. Fuel leaks out no matter how little is in the tank, or if the car is or isn't running. Fumes do build up inside vehicle. This problem was not a result of any damage or scrape. The tank is splitting along the molding line. *ak |
