Owner report 10139988 · 2005-10-17 (October 17, 2005)
DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 1995 MAZDA B-2300 PICK-UP. WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK HE NOTICED GASOLINE LEAKING ONTO THE GROUND UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE CRACKED AND WAS CAUSING THE GASOLINE TO LEAK ONTO THE GROUND. DUE TO THE HEAT AND DRYNESS IN THIS AREA IT WOULD CAUSE THE PLASTIC TO CRACK. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THIS FILLER PIPE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *AK UPDATED 11/15/05. *JB
