#746407June 4, 2001
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
FRONT FUEL TANK LEAKS JUST ABOVE SEAM LINE APPROX 1AND1/2 INCHES ABOVE SEAM. THE SEAM IS AT AN ANGLE.THE FRONT OF THE TANK IS PITTED. THERE IS A PROTECTIVE COVER ON THE FRONT THAT IS MOLDED TO THE SHAPE OF THE TANK .THERE ARE NO DRAIN HOLES IN THE COVER. IF THE COVER IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE SEAM THE WATER WILL STAY ABOVE THE SEAM. THE DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW MOISTURE TO RUN OFF IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A FOWARD PITCH AS MINE IS AT MY HOME.ALSO IF YOU LOOK IN BETWEEN THE BED AND THE CAB , AT THAT POINT YOU SEE THAT THE TANK SLOPES FOWARD TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO AT THAT POINT YOU SEE THE PROTECTIVE COVER JUST AT THE CAB LINE. HAD THE COVER GONE PAST THE BEDLINE MORE THAN LIKELY THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAPPEN. I HAVE PATCHED THE FRONT TANK BECAUSE OF THE FUMES,BUT I DO NOT USE IT.
