FUEL TANK LINER IS RELEASING FROM THE TANK WALL AND SEAMS. THIS IS CAUSING THE FUEL FILTER TO CLOG FAST AND PREMATURELY. THIS ALSO CAUSES STRESS AND WEAR ON THE FUEL PUMP FROM BEING STARVED OF GASOLINE. WHICH ALSO CAUSES THE MOTOR TO CUT OUT AT 4K RPMS. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO PASS OR AVOID ROAD OBSTACLES.
