IN JUST UNDER 14 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE, I NOW HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK A THIRD TIME DUE TO LEAKAGE. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER, DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF THIS HAPPENING. I BELIEVE THESE TANKS ARE A BAD DESIGN AND WITH POOR MATERIAL TO RUST OUT AND LEAK IN SUCH SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. I JUST CAN;T BELIEVE THERE HAVE NOT BEEN NUMEROUS INJURIES OR ANY DEATHS DUE TO THESE GAS TANKS. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE SECOND GAS TANK THAT WAS REPLACES ABOUT 6-7 YEARS AGO. AND YOU CAN DEFINITELY SEE THAT IT HAS BEEN LEAKING. BY THE WAY. MY TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND I HAVE YET TO FIND SOMEONE THAT BELIEVES MY TRUCK IS THAT OLD DUE TO HOW NICE THAT IT STILL LOOKS INSIDE AND OUT.
