Do it yourselfers triple check

Had a guy in the shop today with a 2014 F150 super crew, tried to mount a gun safe in the back seat. It's going to cost about $1300 to replace the fuel tank he drilled through. Full tank also, that thing was freekin heavy.

If he'd had a longer bit the tank wouldn't have weighed near as much....."bouncey:

LOL! Better to be out of fuel than out of ammo! ;)

Yep, that tank probably holds 36 gallons full.

"TRUST ME ... THIS IS EASY" remember if the customer did it first the labor cost goes up!:D

SLOW DOWN AND THINK. Just like to old saying in construction, measure twice, cut once. To often people get excited and get in a hurry. Rushing to get the job done usually adds many hours to re-doing it.

We get one of those a month here at our dealership.

Someone putting in radio crap usually. Big speakers, amps, something.

They drill a hole in a fuel tank, drill through a brake line, drill through a fuel line, cut the wrong wire, splice into wrong thing.

Usually a Lincoln tech grad does himself at home.

Ahhhh! Just some Thumb Gum and a sheet metal screw and it's as good as new. http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/picture.php?albumid=299&pictureid=1405 Just use a longer screw when mounting the safe ... "Two birds, one screw".

I had a few good techs out of Lincoln Tech in New Jersey (I also had a few bad ones). But they all had to be trained to work on Ford products and yes I had my share of do it your selfers over the years. You Can't fix Stupid.:dizzy:
