 Tl*the contact owns a 1999 ford econoline. the contact stated that gasoline is leaking from the vehicle. he further stated that there was a malfunction with the insulated pads that protect the gas tank from being damaged. the pads are rubbing metal to metal and cause the gas tank to crack and leak fuel. the leak was discovered when she smelled gasoline while driving. an auto repair shop confirmed the failure. the ford manufacturer stated that there was no recall for this failure and refused to make any repairs. the failure mileage was unknown.

 I believe ineffective repairs are being done and only the symptoms are being treated. i have two failed oil pumps, three failed water pumps, a failed alternator...and three attempts to fix various oil leaks....all within the last year. the exhaust bolts that were put on in may, 2003 weren't even on in august, a cover that goes under the radiator flew off on the highway...i am now wondering what else...in addition...there needs to be a cause to the constantly failing water pumps. the battery, alternator, ac, etc. failures are minor in comparison.
