1 Gas Tank Strap problem of the 1997 Ford E-350

Failure Date: 07/15/2010

I looked over my 1997 Ford E-350 club wagon before inspection last year and noticed the fuel tank straps were inadequate and rusting heavily. These vehicles should be investigated and cited for the same recall the Ford f150's were this week. The two straps are thin and of poor quality -- my tank is 35 gallons and I am afraid to fill it more than half full until I get new straps installed or reinforce the existing ones. Every trip, I worry about it falling out and catching fire or causing an accident.
