#721223April 9, 2000
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
THE FUEL RETURNS TO THE FRONT TANK IF BOTH FRONT & REAR ARE FILLED WITH GAS. THE FUEL JUST RETURNS TO THE FRONT TANK AND OVERFLOWS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY SWITCH DOES NOT WORK. IT QUIT YEARS AGO. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF FIRES CAUSED FROM THIS PROBLEM BUT NO ONE WANTS TO FIX IT. GUESS AFTER WE BURN UP IN A FIRE SOMEONE MAY DECIDE THERE WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE EVEN WRITTEN A LETTER TO THE US DEPT. OF TRANSPORTATION, TO A MR. JONATHAN WHITE, BUT HE DIDN'T EVEN SEE FIT TO ANSWER THE LETTER. THERE WAS A RECALL #91S39 ON THIS PROBLEM, THE MANUFACTURER SAYS OUR TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED. IF NOT INCLUDED, WHY IS IT DOING THE SAME THING AS RECALL #91S39 SAYS IT DOES. SOMEONE WITH ALOT MORE PULL THAN I HAVE IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE ALOT OF PEOPLE GET HURT OR DIE. THIS IS SERIOUS, PLEASE TREAT IT AS SUCH. *AK
