I was driving South on hwy 41 in milwaukee, wi. When I heard a dragging sound under truck. I pulled off hwy and discovered my gas tank was dragging for approx. 2 miles. Why it didn't blow up I am not sure. Two straps snapped. I had just filled the tank w/ $75 in gas and had truck towed and approx. Cost of getting truck fixed is $700 plus the tow.
