1993 Ford F-150 fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 11: complaints 41 to 70 of 287, newest first, as owners wrote them.
(1) filled fuel tanks with gas (2) fuel began pushing out of the rear filler cap after a few minutes of driving. Notified by another driver and pulled over. Opened the fuel door cover and saw gas spilling out around the cap. Took the cap off and fuel blew out at me. Myself and my daughter had gasoline all over us. (3) took it to the dealer and was informed it was a known defect and the recalled part had been replaced with redesigned fuel pump in 2001. New redesign is now doing the same thing. Contacted ford customer service may 3, 2007, was told initially by 'sue' that ford would participate and repair the vehicle. Then a supervisor, id# 1157 (shira) that it was already fixed 28 dec 01 and they won't fix it again although it's a known problem.
Dt*: the contact stated there are problems with vehicle's fuel intake. Every time fuel was injected into the vehicle the filler cap would overflow. The dealer was contacted and determined that the vehicle had the same characteristics of a recall. The capacity of the receiving tank exceeded intake and caused an overflow from filler cap. The fuel seeping could result in fire. However the VIN was not included in the recall. Therefore any service would incur a charge.
Dt*: the contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH, there was an odor of gasoline coming from the vehicle. The contact was motioned to pull over by another motorist, and when the contact exited the vehicle and examined both tanks, the front tank was overflowing gasoline. The vehicle was examined by an independent repair shop, where it was determined that there was a problem with the fuel regulator. There is a the federal safety agency recall # 93v125000. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.
1. One morning I started my vehicle and it would not start on the front tank so I began to use the rear tank only. 2. Very soon thereafter, gasoline began pouring out of the front tank filler cap. It's too dangerous to drive, whatever gas gets put into the rear tank is pumped into the front tank while being driven and gas spills out of cap going down the road. 3. Nothing has been corrected yet, I'm trying to get local ford dealer to fix it but they say there is no recall for my VIN.
I have found a problem with my vehicle which is, according to the federal safety agency campaign number 93v125000, recalled for a safety purpose. A malfunctioning check valve in the fuel pump assembly causes fuel to return to the second tank and overflow. There is a great chance for a fire because of the fuel overage. However, ford does not recognize this as a recall on my vehicle, based solely on my vehicle identification number.
A fuel system parts failure resulted in the transfer of gasoline from one tank to the other. I became aware of the problem when I saw fuel running onto the pavement under the vehicle.
Dt*: the contact stated there was a recall on the vehicle, the federal safety agency campaign id # 93v125000 concerning the fuel system. This was completed accordingly as indicated in the recall. However, the recall did not correct the problem. The check valve within the fuel pump assembly causes unused fuel from one tank to recirculate to the secondary tank which results in fuel spillage from the filler neck. Although the vehicle was seen by an independent repair shop, no repairs were made.
The front gas tank on my dual tank 93 f150 started leaking. I found that there is a plastic cover on the front of the tank that collects dirt and debris. The collection of this dirt and debris between the plastic cover and tank caused the tank to rust in the location. A leak developed. Gas leaking on the ground is not a good thing. My remedy so far has been to not use the front tank. The tank is still on the truck and now has the plastic cover removed. I removed it to find where the leak was coming from. This appears to be a common problem since the tanks are easily available on e-bay all the time.
1993 ford f-150 2wd pickup with dual tanks. One tank overflowed pressurized gas on 19 june 2005. Noticed recall 01m05. This vehicle is covered under this recall, but 12 years or 150,000 miles. The car is 13 days out of the recall timeframe, and ford will not cover this recall. They won't even consider a partial good will adjustment.
Dt: gas was pumping from the back tank to the front tank. When the vehicle was taken to ford they informed the consumer that they wouldn't fix it because they couldn't reproduce the leak. The tank is leaking every now and then. The problem is getting worse and it's coming out the filler neck. *nm the consumer first noticed the problem in late march of 05, when he heard a hissing sound like a flat tire and traced it back to the front of the fuel tank. Lower part of the radiator leaking, rear brakeline on rear driverside. Front corner of front fuel tank leaks out, no leak found in rear.
Dt: consumer states: the fuel selector pump sends fuel from front to back, check value is suppose to stop it. Opened back cap and it poured out of the tail pipe. Dealership 12 year warranty will not fix problem.
The consumer stated the vehicle has a fuel leak. There were two fuel tanks on the vehicle. *jb the consumer stated that fuel from the front tank went to the rear fuel tank causing it to overflow out the fuel fill neck.
Vehicle was parked and consumer noticed a brown liquid leaking from underneath the vehicle. While driving consumer smelled a gas odor coming from the vents. Pulled over, and noticed gasoline leaking from underneath the vehicle. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer, and mechanic determined that fuel tank needed to be replaced due to malfunctioning of fuel sensor.
Consumer smelled gas after purchasing the vehicle. Made contact with the manufacturer, who told consumer vehicle was included in recall, and to take the vehicle to the dealers as soon as possible. However, dealer refused to service the vehicle, stating that the vehicle was too old and had to many miles, even though fuel was spurting from the gas tank.
The rear fuel tank was sending fuel into the front tank. As a result the front fuel tank over flowed. The consumer was concerned that the vehicle will catch fire. Please provide additional information.
Tried to have a vehicle repaired for a safety issue. Ford said that it wasn't covered anymore although the original recall documnet said ford was to fix the situation regardless of age, mileage, or ownership from the date july 14th 1993 on. There was an incident with the vehicle recently that if there would have been a heat source in the area, there could have been an explosion. Ref recall 93v‑125 ford 1990-1993 f-150.
While driving fuel leaked out of the fuel tank onto the ground.
Both front and rear fuel tanks recently started leaking on my 1993 ford f150 pickup after receiving a recall from ford for a problem with the fuel pressure regulator and mechanism for transfer of fuel from the tanks.at the time I took my pickup to 5 star ford for the recall they told me both fuel tanks were leaking at the seams of both tanks. I called ford customer service and they said the recall was for a defect that could cause transfer of fuel from one tank to another and cause leakage at the filler neck of the tanks. I believe the tanks are leaking at the seams either because of over pressure from the fuel pressure regulator causing excess pressure in the tanks or a defective joining of the tanks at their seams. I believe this to be a dangerous defect that could cause fire and property and body injury. I have requested ford to either repair the fuel tanks or replace them but they have refused. I think there is a serious risk of fire. I cannot afford the $700 5 star ford wanted to put two new fuel tanks on my pickup. Please help!
Vehicle has dual fuel tanks ,the back tank is pumping gasoline into the front tank and is overflowing. Driver took vehicle to the dealer for analysis, and mechanic noticed that pressure safety valve needed to be replaced.
Fuel tank leaked due to rust. Truck was diagnosed by a dealership. *ak
Vehicle was part of recall 93v125000 to replace fuel pressure regulator. Recall did not correct the problem. When the rear fuel tank is used, it still pumps fuel into the front fuel take. When the front tank fills up, fuel flows out of the fill tube, down the side of the truck bed and onto the frame and tires. This is a fire hazard!
The rear fuel tank was leaking. The dealer was notified but indicated there was nothing they could do. *nlm recall #93v125000. The consumer stated his family can smell the gas. Ford will not cover the repair.
My 1993 ford f-150 was part of recall program 00s57 to replace fuel pressure regulator in dual tank trucks to avoid fuel spillage. This was done 06/19/02 although no redundant check valves were installed. The recall repair has failed and fuel is backwashing from the aft tank to the midship tank, causing it to overflow. The local ford dealer(coastal ford) states it is no longer responsible, and I cannot get ford motor company to contact me. This is dangerous and this has happened subsequently to others. Please help!
When the vehicles rear fuel tank was full with fuel, it would siefer to the front fuel tank and cause fuel to overflow out of the tank.
Consumer was informed on two separate occasions that no parts were available regarding the fuel tank, recall #93 v 125 000.
Dealership oasis ford;old bridge nj;732‑591‑1111 is refusing to honor recall for fuel leakage 01 f 105 000, unless they do a diagnose on the vehicle first.
Rear fuel tank began leaking, spare tire is installed under rear fuel tank. Pressure from supporting tire caused fuel tank strap to rub through fuel tank.
The federal safety agency recall 01i008000 fuel over-flow; after one dealership performed recall the fuel gauge would fluctuate or move when truck moves. A week later, the tanks began overflowing again. The front tank also developed leakage prior to the rear tank leaking first. The owner then contacted the manufacturer and was told that they will charge him to replace the tanks but not the fuel pump. The truck is at another dealership still waiting to be serviced. Nlm
