| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Engine did not run due to fuel tank coating coming off. this coating is there to provide added assurance that there be no fuel leak (and a fire) if the plastic wall of the tank leaks (on its own or after a crash). thus there is a fire safety hazard.*ak the manufacturer and dealer will not replace the tank (even after 3 recurances of the engne running problem, due to the coating coming off the tank wall and clogging the fuel filter and - in 1 case - even the fuel pump). they, instead, flush the tank (removing even more coating) and re-instal it. i am now using a tank with probably very little fire-protection coating. i feel this is a huge safety problem. |
