FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
I HAVE A 1990 FORD F250 WITH DUEL GAS TANKS. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE TRUCK WOULD DIE FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE NO OBVIOUS REASON. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE TO NO AVAIL. THE TRUCK WOULD RUN FINE COLD, BUT ONCE IT GOT HOT IT WOULD DIE. FINALLY I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE FOUND IT WAS THE TANK SELECTOR SWITCH WHICH LETS ME CHOOSE THE FRONT OR REAR GAS TANK. THIS FIRST SWITCH COST ME $300.00 TO FIX. ITS BEEN ABOUT 8 MONTHS SINCE THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED. IT JUST WENT OUT AGAIN. THIS TIME I REPLACED IT MYSELF WITH A SWITCH FROM A FORD DEALER. WHEN I UNHOOKED THE SWITCH FROM THE HARNESS IT WAS MELTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE SWITCH AND THE HARNESS WAS ALMOST UNUSABLE. I WENT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THE SALES CLERK SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE HE SELLS THESE SWITCHES A LOT AND THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HEARD OF THE SWITCH MELTING. THIS IS A FIRE WAITING TO HAPPEN. FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS PART AND FIX THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. *JB
