Consumer states that due to a malfunctioning check valve, the gas tank is leaking fuel. Please give any further details.
Have been to ford dealer for two recalls, ignition and fuel regulator. No charge to me. Gas is still coming out of the filler neck of the tank "I am not using, I switch to that tank and gas comes out of the other tank--that I am not using. The dealer says this is not a recall and I need to pay for new fuel pumps in each tank. I don't understand that since the truck is getting gas fine, just to much and being returned to the wrong tank. Not being returned to the tank that is being used. I feel that this should be a recall and should not cost me $1000.00. Hope someone can help me.
After having recall 89v1141000 serviced, one week later, problem came back worse than before. Fuel was still flowing from one tank to the other. Dealer was aware of problem, but could not solve it.
2 recalls have been completed on this fuel transfer problem and dealer answer was they just put on parts and didn't expect it to fix problem!
Front gas tank pumps gas to rear tank, causing it to overflow.
Consumer had recall 93v125000 repairs done in august 2001, and within in 2 weeks fuel started leaking again. Vehicle has dual tanks. First time front tank was drained to stop overflow. Second time taken to service technician to put another fuel regulator to control fuel flow. Consumet was taken vehicle into repairs shop for thid time, and was not sure if this could be rectified.
When filling both gas tanks, fuel by passing to one tank causes an overflow condition which results in fuel leakage. Also, there is a very strong gas odor in passenger's compartment. Dealer has been contacted.
Received recall 93e039000. Contacted dealership, and had fuel tank switch repaired. However, remedy failed. Contacted dealer, and mechanic wanted to charge consumer for replacement of fuel pumps on both tanks.*ak consumer states he had already paid for the replacement of the fuel tank and selector switch, he found out about the recall and took the vehicle to the dealer, they replaced it again and charged the manufacturer for parts even though consumer had already had them replaced, the problem is still occurring and dealer stated consumer needed to replace both fuel pumps at 1150 dollars, consumer has had all repairs except the replacement of the front fuel tank made by a napa authorized dealer.
My 1990 ford f150 is doing the same exact thing as mentioned in this the federal safety agency campaign #93v125000 but ford sais it's not on their recall list?
A very dangerous condition with my ford f-150 involving the fuel line/gas tank surfaced on 4/27/01 in my attached garage. After the vehicle was stopped in the garage, significant quantities of gasoline were found to be exiting one of the two fuel tank caps on to the floor. Tomball ford replaced the components causing this safety hazard in jan 1996 under ford recall 93s68. It is obvious the recall did not work.!! These facts have been verified by cillis car care, 13650 schroeder rd, houston, tx 77070. According to tomball ford, they say they are not obligated to once again repair the components of the fuel system on this vehicle. I demand that the d.o.t. Act on this situation immediately. My truck should be repaired correctly at no cost to me. Further, for the safety of the public, ford should be required to conduct another recall and perform recall 93s68 properly!!!!!

Recall 93v125000/ fuel pump repairs done by ford. However, fuel spillage still happening, problem is caused by fuel pump relay.
The reason for my complaint is that my truck has a damaged check valve. I have spent my own money to try and fix the problem, yet it still does not work properly. What is happening is I have a daul tank system. When I switch my tank to the rear it pumps gas to the motor but also pumps gas into the front tank causing it to overflow, thus creating a potential fire hazered for my wife and kids. I called ford and they said there is no recal on such a deffect. Yet my mechanice pulled up a document off his computer under the (2000 mitchell repair information co. L.l.c.) under safty recall #93s68 which addresses this very problem. I beleve it is severe enough to bring it to your atten, and am asking you to get ford to fix this defect before my truck goes ablaze.
