FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
WHILE TOWING OUR 5TH. WHEEL TRAILER IN THE CURB LANE ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, WE EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT WHICH ACTUATED THE EMERGENCY FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE. THE RIGHT, FRONT TRUCK TIRE BLEW OUT AND THE ASSOCIATED BUMPY/SHUDDERING APPARENTLY CAUSED THE FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE TO CLOSE. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY, BUT WITH CONSIDERABLE DIFFICULTY. WHEN THE FUEL STARVED MOTOR SHUT DOWN WE LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHICH ADDED TO THE DIFFICULTY CONTROLING THE RIG. NOBODY WAS INJURED AND WE WERE ABLE TO INSTALL THE SPARE TIRE AND RE-SET THE FUEL VALVE. OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE MAY HAVE ACTUATED TOO EASILY. IF WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING IN THE CENTER LANE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REACH THE SAFETY OF THE MEDIAN OR SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT23585R16 )

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED, THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE IN THE 1994 POWER STROKE TRUCKS. IN FACT THE DEALER IN THE AREA STATED ON 10-23-99 THIS IS THE WEAK LEAK OF THE 94'S. BY ALL INFO THAT I HAVE GATHERED FORD KNOWS THIS AND MADE A DESIGN CHANGE IN THE 95 MODEL YEAR. AND THE RESONS THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL IS BECAUSE IT IS ISOLATED TO JUST THE 94'S. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR MY ABILITY TO KNOW WHAT TO DO, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, POWERING UP TO MERGE IN WHEN THE CLUTCH UNLOADED. ANY ASSSITANCE OR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SUBJECT WOULD BE GREATLY APPERCIATED. THANK YOU COLIN FARRELL

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO THE FORD DEALER FOR A SAFETY RECALL PERTAINING TO THE FUEL TANK MOUNTING SYSTEM. THEY COULD NOT COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK BECAUSE THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING FROM A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TANK HAD A PUNCTURE THAT WAS CAUSED BY SOME OBJECT THAT BOUNCED OFF THE ROAD. THE TANK IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND HAS NO SHIELD TO PROTECT IT FROM ROAD DEBRIS. HAD THIS BEEN A GASOLINE TANK INSTEAD OF DIESEL FUEL IT COULD VERY WELL HAVE EXPLODED WHEN THE OBJECT STRUCK THE TANK. THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND AT THE VERY LEAST A SHIELD SHOULD BE MOUNTED ON THE FRAME TO PROTECT THE TANK FROM BEING HIT BY FOREIGN OBJECTS.
