I looked under my 2003 ford f150 and saw something hanging down. It turns out that one of my gas tank straps broke. I see by looking on the internet that this is a common problem . I have ordered a new set from advanced auto parts and i should have them on tomorrow. *tr

Apparently the straps holding the gas tank on to my 2001 ford f-150 pick up rusted. Today the tank fell off while i was driving when one of the straps let go. Fortunately there was no fire, however i spilled a full tank of gas when the tank split. The mileage is 101,000. Ford says it's no longer in warranty even though this seems to be a growing problem. *tt

2001 f-150 supercrew 4x4 lariat 5.4 triton 136000 miles. Great truck however the under side of this truck is literally rusting out from underneath. Rocker panels are gone, but a larger issue at this time is the fuel tank strap has rusted and broke. Pathetic rusting on this beautiful truck. *tt

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/ $75.00 in gas and had truck towed and approx. Cost of getting truck fixed is $700.00 plus the tow. *kb
