Filed May 18, 2011 · Fuel system · 121,000 miles · IA

Just turned off hwy onto gravel road. Felt a jolt and thought I had a flat tire. Pulled over and upon inspection noticed the fuel tank straps had broken and I was dragging the fuel tank down the road. Due to being on gravel there were no sparks and no fire. Tank was ruined and had to replace that along with both straps. Check engine light will not re-set since the incident as well.
