Moving to north carolina in a ford econoline van, 1994. The van started smoking and when we pulled over on the side of the highway the smoke became so thick that we started to walk away to our second vehicle parked the van. When we turned around we saw an extreme amount of smoke and realized the van had caught fire. The fire department came to extinguish the flames but none of the contents within could be saved.

1994 ford econoline van; my oil pan rusted out. This was found when the fuel pressure regulator failed,and the vehicle would not start. I had it towed for service, and told them I noticed a puddle of oil after the tow truck removed it. They found the oil pan had rusted out. This was a costly repair as the engine had to be pulled forward to change the pan. While it was being serviced three of the people I know told me they had the same thing happen on their fords; one person used jb weld on his van, then sold it. As I am on ss/disability, I cannot afford to purchase a new vehicle, and I do like this one. I do think this is a potential hazard as oil could start fire on a hot engine, and if the engine froze up on the interstate could potentially cause an accident. I was lucky to find the problem before my engine froze up. However, having to pull the engine forward to change the oil pan is somewhat poor design and very costly.
