#713979October 27, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
NOTICED REAR BUMPER ON TRUCK WAS BENT AND HAD A SMALL DENT. HIT WHILE PARKED. NO OTHER VISIBLE DAMAGE. SUBSEQUENTLY BEGAN SMELLING GASOLINE. SMALL SPOT IN DRIVEWAY; SUBSEQUENTLY SAW SLOW DRIP FROM THE REAR TANK AREA ONTO EXHAUST PIPE. UPON REMOVAL OF REAR TANK BY DEALER, DIME-SIZE RUST HOLE FOUND TOWARDS REAR OF TANK UNDERNEATH MOUNTING STRAP. FORD TAKES POSITION THAT THE HOLE WAS CAUSED BY RUST AND IS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" AND NOT COVERED UNDER ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY OR RECALL. REST OF TANK LOOKS FINE EXCEPT FOR DIME SIZE RUST HOLE THAT FORMED UNDER THE REAR END OF MOUNTING STRAP. HOLE IS IN THINNER, REAR PART OF THE TANK, WHICH IS THE FIRST PART OF TANK THAT'S EMPTIED. ALSO APPEARS TO BE RUSTED FROM THE OUTSIDE IN, NOT FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I RETAINED THE FAULTY TANK. FORD DENIES MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. NATIONWIDE INSURANCE APPRAISER SURMISES HOLE WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY EITHER A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IN THE TANK OR BY AN INSTALLATION DEFECT, BUT IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY A MILD COLLISION TO THE REAR BUMPER.

#713886October 26, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSE FOR A RECALL FROM 1990 THROUGH 1993, THIS RECALL (#93S68) WAS PUT OUT IN SEPT. OF 1993. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT IN SEPT. OF 1993, IT'S LISTED AS A 1994 MODEL THUS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BY FORD. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM, FUEL SPILLAGE FROM OVER FILLED TANK DUE TO A DAMAGED CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL PUMP/SENDER ASSEMBLY. THE DANGER IS NO LESS THAN IT WAS ONE MONTH PRIOR FOR TRUCKS WITH THIS PROMBLEM WHICH WERE UNDER RECALL. I HAVE CALLED 3 FORD DEALERS IN MY AREA NONE WERE WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT FORD WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I THEN ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD DO NO GOOD BECAUSE THAT WAS FORDS POLICY AND IT DIDN'T MATTER WHO I SPOKE TO. I WILL BE WRITTING TO FORD PRESENTLY TO INFORM THEM IN WRITTING AT LEAST FOR THE RECORD.

#713693October 22, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
GAS WAS SPRAYING OUT OF GAS INSERTION POINT ON SIDE OF TRUCK FROM FRONT TANK. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER RECALL IN APPROX. 1994. CONTACTED LOCAL FORD DEALER, THEY WERE AWARE OF PRIOR INSTANCES WHERE THIS HAS OCCURED AND THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. BOTH TANKS WERE RECENTLY FILLED FOR THIS TO OCCUR. GAS FROM ONE TANK IS BEING PUMPED INTO THE OTHER TANK FROM THE RETURN GAS SUPPLY BY A LEAK IN THE CHECK VALVES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BROUGHT ABOUT MANY SAFETY ISSUES ONE BEING A FIRE HAZARD. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. FORD'S ONLY RESPONSE IS THAT THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED. IT IS MY ASSUMPTION THAT FORD'S DESIGN OF THE DUAL TANK SYSTEM WAS INFERIOR OR THAT INFERIOIR PARTS ARE BEING USED. THIS IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND OTHER FAMILIES IN JEOPARDY.
