WITH MY 3 GRANDDAUGHTERS IN THE CAB OF MY FORD F250 I STOPPED AT THE BICYCLE SHOP TO DROP OFF 2 BICYCLES THAT NEEDED REPAIR, THIS TOOK LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY TRUCK THERE WAS NO LESS THAN 1/2 GALON OF FUEL ON THE PAVEMENT AND FUEL WAS STILL LEAKING OUT OF THE REAR TANK FILLER NECK. I QUICKLY TOOK MY GRANDDAUGHTERS OUT OF THE TRUCK TO SAFETY AND HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. HE CALLED THE FORD DEALER IN ALHAMBRA CA.
