    Fuel/Propulsion System

    Fuel tank is suppose to be 37 gallon. I have never put more than 28.5 gallons in the tank. Even when i run the tank to the red light or my mileage indicator show 20 or less miles remaining. I have ask the dealership twice about this and they claim is a safety feature so you don't run out of fuel. I run the tank down to 10 miles left in tank and that is when i put 28.5 gallons into it.

    I was carrying an old battery on the truck bed and the battery leaks so the fluid spilled over my fuel tank and burn/corrode the vacuum and gas lines. I think the fuel tank should be protected with an upper skill plate because is a truck and you always carry different things and this is kind of expose or drain holes of the bed are not located properly, so they wanna charge me 2k dls for something that is a bad…
