Gas smell in the cabin by model year
What owners say
Late november, 2001, I noticed a gasoline smell. I took the car to the dealer and was informed that the fuel sender had corroded away. My research shows other recalls of ford trucks (aerostar) for fuel senders manufactured in the same period (my car manufactured approx. Sept. 1993). I have contacted manufacturer and have received no response other than customer service saying that it wasn't a defective part.
Gas smell was noticed inside and outside the vehicle. The dealer has been notified and indicated that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The manufacturer had been contacted. *ak
