No incident occurred because I found it in time (thank god)! I came out my front door and noticed something hanging under my truck. I took it to car-x and they told me it was one of my supports holding up my gas tank. Right there I almost had a heart attack! I asked them to check it out. The next day they called me and told me they couldn't fix it because it was too rusty underneath. They even called the dealer, I got it from, and they told them they didn't want anything to do with it. Right now I have a ratchet belt holding it up but I'm afraid it won't last through a lot of rain and snow.

The contact owns a 1996 Ford Ranger. While entering the driveway at 3 mph, the lid for the gas tank separated from the vehicle. Upon further inspection he noticed that the springs had corrosion. A technician from the dealer recommended replacement of the springs. However the parts for the repair were unavailable. The failure mileage was 140,000.

Each time I fill up, the gas tank overflows, creating a huge safety risk of either a fire or explosion.

Since approximately 2000 I have been unable to fill the truck with gas. I can not fill the tank, if I do the fuel will just spill on the ground. Hose from fuel fill to tank must be cracked.
