FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
THE FUEL STARTED TO RUN OUT OF THE FRONT FUEL TANK. I LOST MOST OF THE FUEL OUT OF THE REAR TANK THAT SPILLED ON THE ROAD. I THINK THAT THIS IS A FIRE WAITING TO HAPPEN. NOW I DO NOT USE THE REAR TANK TO STOP THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE FORD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THERE TRUCKS AND THEY SHOULD FIX A FUEL PROBLEM. THAT HAS HAPPENED IN MANY OF THERE TRUCKS NO MATTER OF THE MILEAGE OR AGE. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I HAVE A 1990 FORD F150 TRUCK. ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FUEL FROM THE BACK TANK HAS FLOWED OVER INTO THE FRONT TANK. ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS, I HAVE GONE TO MY TRUCK TO FIND GASOLINE ALL OVER THE GROUND. I STILL HAD TO PUT A BUCKET UNDER THE TANKS FILLERS TO ALLOW THE EXCESS GAS IN THE FRONT TANK TO FLOW DOWN.ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAD THE TRUCK PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THE GAS THAT FLOWED OUT COVERED ALMOST MY ENTIRE GARAGE FLOOR. ON THE THIRD OCCASION, ENOUGH GAS HAD FLOWED FROM THE TANK TO REACH MY LAWN. IF SOMEONE HAD COME TO MY HOME SMOKING, OR SOME OTHER IGNITION SOURCE WAS TO HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH IT, MY HOUSE WOULD HAVE BURNED TO THE GROUND. I NOW HAVE TO PARK THE TRUCK OUTSIDE FOR FEAR OF IT CAUSING MY HOUSE TO BURN.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
I OWN A 1990 FORD F-150 WITH RECALL # 93S68. THIS IS A CROSS DUAL TANK FUEL CONDITION WHERE THE FRONT TANK OVERLOADS WITH UNUSED FUEL . FRONT TANK IS IN-OPERABLE AND ONLY REAR TANK BEING USED. FRONT TANK CONTINUES TO SPILL FUEL WHEN PARKED AND AFTER 6 YRS OF REPEATED ATTEMPTS IN CONTACT WITH FORD I STILL CAN GET NO RELIEF. I HAVE HAD 2 93S68 RECALLS AND STILL THE TANK LEAKS DANGEROUS GASOLINE EVERYWHERE IT IS PARKED. WHAT AMAZES ME IS HOW FORD HAS BURIED THIS RECALL CONSIDERING WHAT A HAZARD LEAKING FUEL PRESENTS. HAVING OWNED THE TRUCK FOR 10 YRS AND SINCE IT IS IN OTHERWISE PERFECT CONDITION , I AM HOPING AN AGENCY SUCH AS YOURS WOULD HELP ME TO FORCE FORD TO HONOR THIS RECALL UNTIL I AM SATISFIED. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT ANY TIME AT THE 2 PH3'S PROVIDED . THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE TRIED TO ENLIST THE ASSIST OF NHTSA . *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
MY 1990 F-150 HAS TWO GAS TANKS. FOR THE PAST WEEK THE GAS HAS BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO TANKS. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I CAN FILL THE FRONT TANK AND PUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS IN THE REAR TANK. THEN AN HOUR LATER THE REAR TANK IS HOLDING THE GAS FROM THE FRONT TANK. THE BIG PROBLEM HAPPENED TODAY WHEN I FILLED THE REAR TANK AND THEN PUT $5 WORTH IN THE FRONT TANK. I HAD A 70 MILE DRIVE HOME. WITHIN THE FIRST 20 MILES THE REAR TANK WHICH I HAD FILLED, WAS READING 1/4 FULL! SO I SWITCHED TO THE FRONT TANK WHICH WAS EMPTY EXCEPT FOR THE $5 WORTH OF GAS I HAD PUT IN. HOWEVER, THE FRONT TANK WAS NOW READING FULL! OBVIOUSLY THE GAS HAD GONE SOMEHOW FROM THE REAR TANK AND UP TO THE FRONT TANK. BY THE TIME I GOT ABOUT HALF WAY HOME, THE CAB OF THE TRUCK WAS FULL OF FUMES. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT BECAUSE I DEVELOPED A TERRIBLE HEADACHE. THERE WAS GAS POURING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, I REALIZED THE GAS WAS SPILLING OUT FROM THE REAR TANK AT THE AREA WHERE THE GAS GOES IN AT. WHEN I CHECKED THE GAUGES THE REAR TANK WAS NOW FULL (REMEMBER 30 MINUTES EARLIER IT WAS ONLY 1/4 FULL AND THE FRONT TANK WAS READING FULL),. THE TANK WAS OBVIOUSLY OVER FULL BECAUSE IT WAS SPILLING OUT FROM THE AREA WHERE THE HOSE GOES IN TO FILL THE TANK.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A FUEL LEAK PROBLEM. FUEL WAS RUNNING FROM THE FRONT TANK TO THE BACK TANK, CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL TUBE AND SPILL ON THE GROUND. THE FUEL SPILLS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING .CONSUMER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL THEY WILL NOT HELP HIM. CONSUMER HAS NOT TAKEN VEHICLE TO A DEALER BECAUSE HE COULD REPAIR VEHICLE BY HIMSELF SELF, BUT FELT THAT MANUFACTURER HAD ON OBLIGATION TO REPAIR IT. *AK *LA
