Description of the problem | The metal straps holding the gas tank on my 1998 f250 (regular duty) rusted to pieces one at a time until the last strap broke and the gas tank dropped on to the road. It is a miracle the tank didn't get wedged under the vehicle or explode from being dragged on the road. |
