FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
STOPPED BY DAM NECK ANNEX NAVAL BASE GATE GUARD ON WAY TO WORK (APX 26 MILES). WAS INFORMED I COULD NOT ENTER BASE DUE TO GAS POURING OUT OF FRONT GAS TANK. I PARKED VEHICLE AND CALLED AAA TO TOW. MECHANIC REPLACED FUEL SELECTOR SWITCH AND BOTH FUEL PUMPS. VEHICLE STILL NOT FIXED. UPON SWITCHING TO THE REAR GAS TANK, VEHICLE RUNS A SHORT TIME THEN CUTS OFF AS IF OUT OF GAS. HAVE TO RETURN TO FRONT TANK. SUSPECT PROBLEM WAS ONGOING FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO BEFORE I WAS AWARE OF IT. I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS STEALING THE GAS BUT NOW SUSPECT IT WAS POURING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM LUCKY TO BE HERE. THIS IS DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS VEHICLE, NOR WOULD I BE SELLING IT TO SOMEONE ELSE UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER RECALL OF '93. WHEN CONTACTING OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WE WERE TOLD OUR VIN# DID NOT COME UP THEREFORE MEANING THAT THE PART WAS REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL ONCE ALREADY. THE CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ASSY CAUSES A PORTION OF THE UNUSED FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO BE RETURNED TO THE SECOND TANK WHICH IS CAUSING THE CAPACITY OF THE SECOND TANK TO CAUSE FUEL SPILLAGE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OIL PAN RUSTED OUT AND STARTED LEAKING. I CAUGHT IT BEFORE ALL OIL LOST ON ROAD AND AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM THROUGH A FRIEND THAT LOST ALL HIS OIL AND SEIZED ENGINE. THIS TRUCK IS OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT HAS NEVER PLOWED SNOW. IT VIRTUALLY HAS NO OTHER RUST. OIL PANS SHOULD NOT RUST OUT. IF OIL IS LOST AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.
