BOTH GAS TANKS HAVE RUSTED OUT , THE REAR TANK I COUND NOT FIX BECAUSE IT IS SO HARD TO GET TO THE FRONT TANK I WAS ABLE TO USE A TANK REPAIR KIT . I AM ONE OF MANY THAT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS. THIS TRUCK IS IN PERFECT SHAPE INSIDE AND OUT .IT IS USED ON THE ROAD .A TOTAL OF 74 MILES PER DAY. ALL BEING LOW SALT AREAS. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TANKS. I LIVED IN NORTHERN MAINE FOR MOST OF MY LIFE AND NEVER DID I SEE A GAS TANK RUST OUT . IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO INSPECT THE TRUCK I WOULD BE A HAPPY CAMPER.8JB
FORD HAS A RECALL(93S68) TO REPAIR THIS ON MY 1990 TRUCK. MY 1994 TRUCK ISN'T ON THE RECALL LIST, BUT HAS THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEM. THE 1990 TRUCK NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM. FORD WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO SAFETY NOTICE FROM THE GOVT FOR THE '94 MODEL YEAR. HOW DO I GET FORD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM?*AK
