#712502September 29, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I OWN A 1989 FORD F-150 PICKUP WITH DUAL GAS TANKS. IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR I NOTICED FUEL COMING FROM MY FRONT FUEL CAP WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND RELEASED PRESSURE ON THE CAP AND FUEL CONTINUED TO SPILL OUT. AFTER THE PRESSURE WAS RELEASED I FIGURED THAT IT WAS EXPANSION DUE TO THE HEAT THAT DAY. THEN LAST SUNDAY I NOTICED IT AGAIN. THE DAY WAS MUCH COOLER AND I SUSPECTED I HAD A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR PLACE TO BE INSPECTED. THE REPAIR CENTER INFORMED ME THAT FORD HAD A RECALL IN 1991 FOR FORD F -150S PRODUCED FROM 3-1-89 TO 1-31-91. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 91S39. THE PROBLEM NOTED IN THE RECALL IS AS FOLLOWS: " ON SOME OF THESE TRUCKS, INTERNAL FUEL LEAKAGE AT THE FUEL TANK SELECTOR VALVE/DUAL FUNCTION RERVOIR MAY RESULT IN THE RETURNING OF FUEL TO THE TANK NOT IN USE. SHOULD THIS OCCUR, FUEL MAY OVERFLOW FROM THE FULE TANK FILLER CAP. FUEL SPILLAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, PRESENTS THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE FIRE." THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPINING WITH MY TRUCK. YET WHEN I CONTACTED FORD TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HONOR THE RECALL, THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO THE PRODUCTION DATE OF MY TRUCK. I AM CONCERNED THAT OTHER TRUCK OWNERS ARE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL DANGER.
