TRUCK HAS DUAL FUEL TANKS. WHEN RUNNING OFF OF THE FRONT TANK IT WILL PUMP GAS TO THE REAR TANK, OVERFILLING IT AND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. RECALL #93V125000 SHOULD COVER THIS PROBLEM BUT FORD SAYS MY TRUCK VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AND REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. TRUCK WAS PURCHASED USED IN JUNE 1999 FROM A PRIVATE PARTY AND HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT. PLEASE TRY TO MAKE FORD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
ON DEC 26, 1999 I READ IN THE HARTFORD COURANT ABOUT AN INVESTIGATION ON FORD PICK-UP TRUCKS F-150 FOR THE YEARS 1990-1993 FOR FUEL TANK LEAKAGES. I HAD TO PAY $538.55 TO HAVE MY FUEL TANK REPLACED DUE TO A LEAK ON 5-24-99. WHEN I CALLED FORD TODAY, 12-27-99, THEY COULD NOT HELP ME, AND SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT THE NUMBERS RECALLED. I CALLED YOUR WASHINGTON PHONE NUMBER AND THE LADY TOLD ME TO FILL OUT THIS FORM ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE ADVISE ME. I BELIEVE MY TRUCK IS AMONG THE TRUCKS YOU ARE INVESTIGATING. THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED BY WILLIAMS FORD IN WEST HTFD,, AND WE HAVE A COPY OF THE BILL IF NEEDED. PLEASE LET US KNOW THE RESULTS OF YOUR INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS MATTER. *AK
