I believe these tanks are a bad design and with poor material to rust out and leak in such short periods of time. I just can;t believe there have not been numerous injuries or any deaths due to…

I took my truck to the nissan dealership in fairfield california and was told that they needed to replace the fuel pump terminal, but they had to order the part. They never got back to me and it was never repaired. It was so long ago, i can't even remember the date. I live out of state now, but still have my truck and would like it fixed at no charge to me.
