So i filled up my truck yesterday. $80. Then went through a carwash. i felt a thud like the car wash arms hit the truck. then when im pulling out of the car wash i smell gas so i stop the truck... Look what happened.



Theres a big hole in the tank too now and it wasnt on the rusted part it was on the clean part.... So i wanna know about this strap recall and if its too late to get it done.

 

Replace it with Plastic Tank. Fuel blended with Alcohol (Ethanol) are Electrically Conductive and therefore more Corrosive..

 

It should be covered, I had my 98 done about a year ago. Have them check the recall on the cruise ctrl. Hope this helps.

 

so i just find a new tank and take it to dealer and say fixer up? I know the cruise recall aint been fixed i got the letter on it a few weeks back...

The Cruise Control part was out since 2008.

 

Man sorry to hear that, glad I got mine fixed when the recall first came out.

 

One of mine snapped on my 97 but luckily it didn't fall like that I ratchet strapped it back up and drove it like that lol

 

It is totally covered, in fact there are multiple recalls with fuel related issues.

Guy at the ford dealer told me that theyll replace the straps but not the tank since its an older recall
