Gas Tank Woes.
They are not saying they won't do it anymore. They are saying that my VIN
number is not covered because it is before they started it with the 1987's
and 1988's This was issued in a 1991 bulletin. So unless yours isa 1986
and you got yours replaced it does me no good. Sorry to be so harsh but
that is what I am dealing with and everyone that got theirs done so far has
had a 1987 or 1988 car. Please tell me yours was a1986.
