FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS IS AN A SERIOUS ONGOING PROBLEM. THIS FORD F-150 HAS DUAL GAS TANKS, FRONT AND REAR. IN THIS TRUCK THE FRONT TANK IS SOMEHOW GETTING OVER FILLED AS YOU DRIVE ALONG AND SPEWS FUEL. REMOVE THE CAP AND GAS GUSHES OUT. A LITTLE GOOGLING SHOWED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF F-150S. HAVING HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF THESE TRUCKS THERE MUST BE A RECALL OR AT LEAST A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SAID WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO FIX IT. THIS MUST BE COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL. MOST RECALLS SEEM TO BE FOR RELATIVELY MINOR ISSUES. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. MOST RECALLS DON'T FIX PROBLEMS THAT APPROACH THE HAZARD TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT WOULD BE ENDANGERED IF THE VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE HAS DUAL FUEL TANKS. THE FRONT TANK SUPPLIES GAS TO THE MOTOR. THE REAR TANK DOES NOT SEEM TO FUEL THE MOTOR. GAS FROM THE FRONT TANK IS FORCED INTO THE REAR TANK UNTIL IT IS PRESSURIZED TO THE POINT OF COMING OUT THROUGH THE CAP. IF THE CAP IS REMOVED, BOTH FUMES AND GAS SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. I AM READING NOW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE DURING OR AROUND THE 1994 TIME FRAME. IS FORD ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM? THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED IN 2011, 2012, 2013 AND NOW IN 2014, BUT I'VE NEVER KNOWN THIS COULD BE A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR
