I purchased a used vehicle which had a "malfunctioning check valve w/in the fuel pump assembly" causing fuel to return to the opposite tank and then due to overfill and pressure in tank causing it to come out of fuel cap. This issue was covered under the federal safety agency campaign id's: 93v125000/01i008000. I brought the vehicle to a dealership and they refused to repair the vehicle saying it was outside of the 12years/150,000mls warrantee date. I was rather upset b/c the paperwork recieved by the federal safety agency's associate administor for enforcement states "ford is responsible for the remedy fo these vehicles from this date forward, regardless of vehicle age, mileage, or ownership". I have already been injured once from ingestion of fuel when I opened the fuel cap to investigate why there was fuel leaking out of the cap.

Fuel system returns fuel from the rear tank to the front tank causing an overflow problem. The front tank becomes pressurized and leaks fuel onto the ground. The fuel system on this truck is a safety hazard, and has been recalled twice. The first recall fixed the problem temporarly but the fuel system failed again. My truck was out of warranty and since the recall was already preformed I was told I would have to pay for any repairs. Recently a second recall came out from ford (recall #01m05h). When I tried to have my problem fixed the dealership told me that the recall does not cover the problem I am having with my truck. The recall work preformed replaced a regulator assembly and fuel tube connection, but I was told my fuel pump is bad and that is what is causing the overfilling of the front tank. It would cost almost $500.00 to repair my fuel system. How many problems are there with the ford fuel system?
