problem #2

Jun 032000

Ram 2500 4WD Diesel

  • miles
The front fuel tank strap broke, causing the front end of the fuel tank to drop down to the road surface. Friction against the road surface caused a hole to form in the tank, allowing fuel to leak out. Looking at the fuel tank strap, it appears that there had been a crack across approx. 50% of the width for some time due to the formation of rust seen in the cross section.
