FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES
1) IN 1992 WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 1992 F150 FORD P.U. WITH DUEL FUEL TANKS, GAS ENGINE. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNERS. WE HAD FUEL TANK PROBLEMS IN APRIL 1994. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON 4-27-94 WHERE CONCERN #93568 AND CONCERN CODE #N99 WAS NOTED ON WORKSHEET AND COMMENTS OF REPAIR WERE "R&R FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR...SKID PLATE TANKS. INSTALLED CHECK VALVES. CHECK FOR LEAKS - OK." 2) IN MAY 2005 WE EXPERIENCED FUEL OVERFLOW FROM THE REAR TANK FILLER CAP. WHEN THE FILLER CAP WAS REMOVED FUEL GUSHED OUT. FRONT TANK WAS BEING USED AT THE TIME. WE SWITCHED TO USING REAR TANK. WE TOOK VEHICLE TO OUR REPAIR SHOP (NOT AFFILIATED WITH FORD) ON 6-1-05 AND HE INFORMED US OF FUEL CROSS FLOW CAMPAIGN NOTICE #01M05 - DEALER REPAIR AND ADVISED US TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP. JUNE 11, 2005, WHILE SWITCHED TO REAR TANK, FRONT TANK STARTED SPEWING GAS OUT THOUGH FILLER CAP WHILE DRIVING, LEAVING BIG TRAIL OF FUEL ON ROADWAY. WITH ENGINE TURNED OFF, FUEL CONTINUED TO SPEW OUT OF FRONT TANK FILLER CAP ONTO GROUND CREATING FIRE HAZARD. 3) CONTACTED MARILYN OF SANDERSON FORD DEALERSHIP (707-433-6598) IN HEALDSBURG, CA ON 6-15-05 WHERE WE PURCHASED P.U. AND TOLD HER OF PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THAT WE HAD MISSED THE DATES OF FREE REPAIR AS THEY WERE 12 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES FROM VEHICLE WARRANTY START DATE. THEY COULD NOT GIVE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY WE DID NOT RECIEVE A RECALL NOTICE. WE WERE ADVISED TO CONTACT MANUFACTUER. CONTACTED DAMIAN OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY, CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS (1-800-392-3673) ON 6-15-05 AND WAS TOLD SAME THING, THAT WE HAD MISSED THE TIME FRAME OF FREE REPAIR AND THAT WE WOULD NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE AS WE FEEL IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. WE ARE CONTACTING YOU IN HOPE THAT IT CAN BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. OBVIOUSLY THE TRUCK HAD A PROBLEM IN 1994 AND THAT PROBLEM WAS EXACERBATED IN MAY 2005.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
NHTSA RECALL 01I008000; FORD ISSUED A FUEL CROSS FLOW RECALL. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT EXPERIENCED OVER FLOW OF GAS IN ONE TANK. *AK....FORD NEVER CONTACTED CONSUMER ABOUT ANY RECALLS 93V125000 AND 01I008000 AND THEN REFUSED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. CONSUMER EXPERIENCED POOR GAS MILEAGE AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHERE THE FUEL WAS GOING. CONSUMER RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT WHEN PLACING FUEL IN THE REAR TANK IT WAS PUMPED INTO THE FRONT TANK WHICH WOULD FILL TO CAPACITY WHEN LEFT EMPTY. PREVIOUSLY, CONSUMER BLAMED THE POOR GA SMILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE'S AGE, BUT CURRENTLY REALIZED THAT GAS WAS BEING PUMPED OUT OF THE TANK. THIS REPRESENTED A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE. ALSO, COULD BE CONSIDERED AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE SINCE FUEL WAS BEING PUMPED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I PURCHASED A USED VEHICLE WHICH HAD A "MALFUNCTIONING CHECK VALVE W/IN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY" CAUSING FUEL TO RETURN TO THE OPPOSITE TANK AND THEN DUE TO OVERFILL AND PRESSURE IN TANK CAUSING IT TO COME OUT OF FUEL CAP. THIS ISSUE WAS COVERED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID'S: 93V125000/01I008000. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE SAYING IT WAS OUTSIDE OF THE 12YEARS/150,000MLS WARRANTEE DATE. I WAS RATHER UPSET B/C THE PAPERWORK RECIEVED BY THE NHTSA'S ASSOCIATE ADMINISTOR FOR ENFORCEMENT STATES "FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMEDY FO THESE VEHICLES FROM THIS DATE FORWARD, REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE AGE, MILEAGE, OR OWNERSHIP". I HAVE ALREADY BEEN INJURED ONCE FROM INGESTION OF FUEL WHEN I OPENED THE FUEL CAP TO INVESTIGATE WHY THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING OUT OF THE CAP. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
(MY FORD F-150 - TRUCK - V.I.N-#1FTEX15YONKB68349) THE TRUCK WAS STALLING AND I HAD THE FUEL FILTER CHANGED ON 03/01/04-THINKING THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT THE TRUCK KEPT TURNING OFF. I WAS PUTTING GASOLINE IN THE BACK TANK AND THEN THE FRONT TANK STARTED OVERFLOWING SO ON 03/11/04 I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK. THEY CHECKED WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING AND THE MECHANIC FOUND OUT THAT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN ON RECALL FOR CHECK VALVES, WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I CALLED FORD (CHAMPION) IN CORPUS CHRISTI -(361-994-6200)TO FIX IT AND THEY TOLD ME TAKE IT IN BUT THEN THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY SINCE MY MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH. IT WAS UNDER THE 12 YEAR WARRANTY, SO I CALLED THE MAIN OFFICE & SAID THE SAME THING. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND HE DID THE JOB. I HAD PREVIOUSLY PAID $31.77 FOR THE FUEL FILTER CHANGE THEN $42.10 TO CHECK WHY IT KEPT TURNING OFF AND THE INITIAL FEE FOR THE VALVE TO BE INSTALLED WAS $212.96 - TOTAL AMOUNT SPEND - $286.83. *AK

DEALER PERFORMED FORD RECALL 93S68 TWICE ON MY VEHICLE WHICH DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. FUEL CROSSFLOW STILL OCCURRED FROM REAR TANK TO FRONT TANK RESULTING IN A HAZARDOUS CONDITION THAT THE RECALL WAS MEANT TO CORRECT. RETURNED TRUCK TO FORD DEALER FOR A THIRD TIME TO CORRECT THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS CHARGED $602.90 TO REPLACE FRONT FUEL PUMP. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL RECALL DID NOT ALLEVIATE THE HAZARDOUS CONDITION. *LA
