FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
GASOLINE IS STEADILY DRIPPING FROM THE FRONT OF THE FRONT FUEL TANK. INSPECTION REVEALS THAT THE GASOLINE IS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT SEAM OF THE TANK, THE TANK HAS NOT BEEN PUNCTURED OR SUBJECT TO ANY ABUSIVE TREATMENT. THE DEALER AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE BEEN CONTACTED. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THAT THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE LEAKING TANK PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALLS AT THIS TIME. A FUEL TANK SHOULD BE ROBUST IN DESIGN TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE IN NORMAL SERVICE WITHOUT LEAKING FUEL. THE LEAKING GASOLINE TANK IS A FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZZARD. IT IS UNFORGIVABLE THAT FORD WILL NOT REPAIR THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT AND THE POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM OF GASOLINE LEAKING.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
VEHICLE LOST OIL PRESSURE AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY . WHEN I NOTICED THE FAILURE ON MY PRESSURE GAGE I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE. WE THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GARAGE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, THE MACHANIC SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE SPUN A BERRING ON THE CRANK. EVERY MECHANIC THAT I HAVE TALKED TO { 5 INCLUDING THIS ONE!! } SAID THAT THIS TRUCKS OIL PUMP SHOULD HAVE NEVER GONE OUT AT ONLY 100,000 MILES. HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE? IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO SHORT OF REPLACING MY ENGINE AT THE COST OF $2500.00 ? ANY HELP OR INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP AND COOPERATION.. THANKS AGAIN, KEVIN LIGHT
