Owner Complaints (1)
Your truck's front fuel tank bracket has rusted and corroded, which could cause the fuel tank strap to detach. If this happens, the front of your fuel tank could sag and contact the ground, potentially causing a fuel leak. A fuel leak near an ignition source could result in a fire. The repair will likely involve replacing the rusted fuel tank bracket and strap.
