1992 Ford Crown Victoria: fuel pump failure

Filed Oct 15, 2005 · Steering · KS

This problem concerns the steering column of a 1992 ford crown victoria rubbing against a metal gas line until large amounts of gas spill onto the hot engine and cause a safety of life problem... As long as the engine remains on the electric fuel pump will continue to pump gas onto the fire caused by the fault. Please notice that I am an engineer and this is not a small matter - it involves many thousands of vehicles and an identical vehicle has had a recall - yet ford has not had a recall on this model although I took this issue to the top of ford motor company. The issue deals with a gasoline leak caused by the steering column rubbing on a metal gas line - causing gasoline to leak from the worn gas line in large amounts. I first noticed the leak from the smell of gas - then I noticed large pools of gas leaking from under my car. After investigating the cause, which was the rotating steering column rubbing on the gas line, I contacted the ford dealer and I contacted ford motor company who put me off to an area person who rebuffed my complaint. The dealer showed me a recall for the lincoln continental with the same exact problem.... The lincoln continental and the ford crown victoria are identical in this respect.... The recall showed the exact gas line and the problem.... Check for yourself.... The lincoln continental and the ford crown victoria are exactly the same under the hood. The recall showed the same gas line and the same problem. However, if you are a credible organization, you will research this by simply looking at the recall for the lincoln continental and wonder why the recall never happened for the ford crown victoria.... Keep in mind that we are talking about a safety of life situation..... The gas leak is considerable..... It was a recall on the lincoln continental and yet, never showed up for the ford crown victoria. E-mail me back I can't figure out your serial number thank you,

While driving along normally on chamberlain roadd traveling 35mph with traffic on a three lane road that turned into a two lanes, consumer tired to accelerate to get over into the far right lane. As consumer pressed on the gas pedal, nothing happened. Pulled over, tried to start it up immediately, but it didn't . Had vehicle towed to a local mechanic, and was told that wire that is connected to the fuel pump, rubbed by itself raw, touching metal to metal inside the gas tank. It could have started a fire or explosion.
