| The f150 fuel tank is prone to severe and dangerous rust at the base of the filler neck. so severe that it will rust through causing the fuel to spill profusely through the cracked neck. i am sure this is a design flaw because after checking the salvage yards to try and replace the part i discovered that it's not a removable part of the tank and that all the tanks i checked had the same cracked rusted area. meaning that if the f150's are still on the road they will eventually suffer this dangerous fuel leakage. *tr | |||
