Yep. Owned it since new. Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh.
Had another hole behind the evap canister. Spent all day yesterday cutting out the rot and welding in new metal. Going to try to get one more year out of it, but it's pretty much junk at this point with only 88k miles on the odometer.

Update: Contacted the undercoating company that did the work. They basically said that it was impossible that the fluid film hurt the sensor. They said they are going to contact Ford customer service on my behalf and see what they can do. I'll post another update when I learn more.
This was my second time in the shop with this. The first time they made me reschedule because they knew they needed to have it long enough to drop the tank.
They didn't replace the sensor this time bc they are not available right now.
I would do exactly that. If you think of it, ask them if they are aware of any issue spraying above the gas tank and report back what they say. I'd love to hear their take in it.
Started putting together a timeline on this just in case I need it.
The CEL came on 8 weeks after I had the undercoating done. I find that interesting. It sure took a long time to cause an issue.
They dropped the tank to verify. They said it blocked a hole and damaged the part. I was told it couldn't be cleaned, it needed to be replaced. I'm going to get the exact part number then talk to the undercoating company.
