FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
VEHICLE IS SHOWING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 00V424000. CONSUMER HAD FRONT FUEL PUMP REPLACED LAST MONTH BECAUSE FUEL FROM FRONT TANK WAS BEING TRANSFERRED TO REAR FUEL TANK (DUAL TANK SYSTEM.) ALSO, CONSUMER FILLED FRONT TANK, THEN WENT TO FILL THE REAR TANK, HE WAS SHOWERED WITH FUEL. DEALERSHIP WAS SAYING THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS RECALL SINCE CONSUMER NOTIFICATION WAS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN MAY OF 2001, MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP WERE NOT ASSISTING CONSUMER IN ANY WAY TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. HE HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER HE IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL/INFORMATION.*AK

#744076April 15, 2001
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
FUEL FROM ONE OF MY TWO GAS TANKS FLOWS INTO THE OTHER TANK. I THEN NOTE A DISTINCT ODOR OF GASOLINE, AND IF I REMOVE THE GAS CAP, GASOLINE WILL SPILL OUT OF THE TANK. IN ADDITION, THE REAR TANK HAS NOW DEVELOPED A LEAK. I UNDERSTAND THAT CERTAIN 1993 F150 FORD PICKUPS WERE RECALLED IN 1993 FOR HIGH FUEL PRESSURE DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE FUEL PUMP CHECK VALVE. THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO TO TRANSFERRED FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER, POSSIBLY OVERFILLING THE NON-OPERATING TANK, RESULTING IN FUEL OVERFLOW PAST THE FILLER CAP (NHTSA #93V125000) AND MORE WILL BE RECALLED IN MAY (NHTSA #00V424000, MFG #00S57). I HAVE CALLED FORD, BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME IF BY VEHICLE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS NEW RECALL. IT WAS NOT RECALLED IN 1993, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS AS NOTED IN THE TWO RECALLS THAT I REFER TO.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY BACK WHEN THE OIL CHANGE PLACE TOLD ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THEN CALL FORD UP AND TALKED A REP. HE SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. BUT HE SAID HE WOULD CONTACT HILLER FORD (CLOSED DEALER TO ME) AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WITHIN A WEEK. I NEVER GOT A CALL. I FINALLY HAD TO BRING IT IN THIS WEEK AND GET IT REPLACED BY A PRIVATE GARAGE IN MILWAUKEE. (THE DEALER'S COST WAS WAY OUT OF LINE.). I'M NOT THRILLED BY FORD NOT GETTING BACK TO ME AND THIS JUST SHOWS WHAT THEY THINK OF THERE CUSTOMERS.I'M GOING TO BRING THE PART INTO WORK AND HAVE THE METAL ANYALIZED AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. NO SXAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK
