I have noticed that a tar like substance was leaking from the rear of the truck along with a chemical odor. I took it to a local ford dealer to have it inspected. They told me that the tar and odor was a result of leaking fuel coming in contact with the undercoating. I was told that it would cost $600. To repair the tank and that the tank was no longer made and they would use an after market tank. They told me that all these tanks leak and they suggested that I no longer use this tank. My question is, if all these tanks leak, why was there never a recall? What happens if someone gets rear ended?

The front gas tank on my dual tank 93 f150 started leaking. I found that there is a plastic cover on the front of the tank that collects dirt and debris. The collection of this dirt and debris between the plastic cover and tank caused the tank to rust in the location. A leak developed. Gas leaking on the ground is not a good thing. My remedy so far has been to not use the front tank. The tank is still on the truck and now has the plastic cover removed. I removed it to find where the leak was coming from. This appears to be a common problem since the tanks are easily available on e-bay all the time.
