#735650November 2, 2000
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL TANKS OVER FLOWING. THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY ADDRESSED IN A RECALL INVLOVING A BACK FLOW PREVENTER VALVE WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER FORD WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE THEN NHTSA THAT THIS WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE.THE PROBLEM IS WITH A DEFCTIVE DESINGED FUEL PUMP. THE PUMP ITSELF WHICH IS LOCATED INSIDE THE GAS TANK HAS A VALVE WHICH ALLOWS THE UN USED GAS TO RETURN TO IT. ON DUEL TANK MODELS, SHOULD THIS VALVE FAIL AND REMAIN OPEN IT WILL ALLOW FUEL TO RETURN TO THE WRONG TANK ALLOWING IT TO OVERFLOW. FORD HAS SINCE, RE-DESINGED THIS PUMP,THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SINCE HAD A PUMP GO OUT AND HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT REPLACED RECEIVED THE NEWLY DESIGNED PUMP WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THIS PROBLEM . BY HAVING THE PUMP REPLACED ( WHICH IS EXATLY WHAT FORD WANTS TO HAPPEN) FORD WILL CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILTY THER BY REDUCING THEIR COST'S SHOULD A RE-CALL HAPPEN.MY WIFE JUST RE-TURNED HOME ALL UP-SET. SHE HAD THE NEIGHBOR AND HER 1 1/2 YR OLD BABY IN THE TRUCK, SHE HAD JUST STOPPED AND FUELED UP.SHE MADE A STOP AT THE STORE. OUR NEIGHBOR REMAINED IN THE TRUCK WITH THE BABY{WITH THE TRUCK RUNNING FOR THE A/C}. SHE WAS STATLED MY A LADY POUNDING ON THE WINDOW TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCK QUICKLY, GAS WAS POURING OUT FROM UNDERMEATH. THE TANK WAS OVERFLOWING!!!!!! THIS IS NOT ONLY A SERIOUS FIRE PROBLEM,,,,, BUT A ENVIROMETAL ONE AS WELL!!! HOW MANY FORD TRUCKS DO YOU SUPPOSE ARE ON OUR NATIONS HIGHWAY'S POURING OUT GAS AS THEY GO????
