I HAVE NOTICED THAT A TAR LIKE SUBSTANCE WAS LEAKING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK ALONG WITH A CHEMICAL ODOR. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TAR AND ODOR WAS A RESULT OF LEAKING FUEL COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE UNDERCOATING. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST $600. TO REPAIR THE TANK AND THAT THE TANK WAS NO LONGER MADE AND THEY WOULD USE AN AFTER MARKET TANK. THEY TOLD ME THAT ALL THESE TANKS LEAK AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I NO LONGER USE THIS TANK. MY QUESTION IS, IF ALL THESE TANKS LEAK, WHY WAS THERE NEVER A RECALL? WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE GETS REAR ENDED? *TR
