I have a 97 Ford F150. I noticed yesterday when I looked under my truck the fuel tank strap was busted, and both were severely corroded.

I own a 1997 Ford F-150 pik up truck. Both straps that hold the gas tank in place have broken in two separate incidents.

On August 1, 2010, our Ford F150 (VIN [xxx]) started on fire and burned from the engine on out. The hood is totally burned through and the windshield also burned. The entire engine compartment is ruined. The truck was in our driveway at the time and we were alerted my neighbors who saw flames shooting 10' into the sky. We believe this engine fire was due to one of the recalls of Ford's faulty switches or wiring that ignited the spark into a full burn.
