Description of the problem | Had to replace gas tank due to leak on 8-02, now it is leaking again on 5-04 with same problem. Ford motor co. Will do nothing about it except install another at my expense. Appears to be a problem that should be taken care of by the company. A dangerous situation because of the exhaust so close to the tank. I have had no fires, because the minute i smelled gas i parked the care until it could be fixed.*ak |
