#703061February 8, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
THE ORIGINAL FUEL TANK LEAKED GASOLINE. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT OR ANY OTHER EXTERNAL FORCE. THE ENTIRE TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A TANK THIS OLD SHOULD NOT RUPTURE. I WORK WITH A FELLOW WHO OWNS A 1994 FORD RANGER (SAME TRUCK) THAT ALSO HAD TO REPLACE A BAD TANK. IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THE ODOR, THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CREATED A FIRE. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER REPORTS OF RUPTURES IN FUEL TANKS FOR 1994 MAZDA OR FORD PICKUPS? *AK

THERE IS A PROBLEM, THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM AND NOW IT IS GETTING WORSE. I'VE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM.
