Page 7 of 11: complaints 161 to 190 of 287, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Rear fuel tank was leaking fuel due to rust, had to be replaced at dealer.
This vehicle is expieriencing same problems as mentioned in recall 00v424000/manufacturer's recall # 12332. Fuel is transferred from one fuel tank to the other, resulting in fuel overflow past filler cap. Dealer has advised consumer that this vehicle was not part of recall due to VIN.
Recall number 93v125000/check valve within fuel pump assembly malfunctioned, causing a portion of unused fuel to return to second tank. Recall remedy did correct problem.
Would have a full tank when rear tank would leak. Both fuel tanks are full. Front sometimes leaks, but rear tank leaks regardless. Took to independent mechanic who was ordering a new replacement rear tank. *ak the gas leak started a year ago at 35,000 miles and still not fixed.
The repair on the truck was to replace both fuel pumps to prevent gas from pumping from one tank to the other and out the filler hose onto the outside of the vehicle. This was not happening when I purchased the truck. Ford motor company should have made this repair under a safety recall 93s68. According initial information provided to me by the local ford dealership and the repair shop, it appeared that this repair (recall) was not previously made on this vehicle. At the time, I called ford customer service line about this repair and was told that the vehicle was no longer covered by this safety recall because of age. I did not know about the recall until on a trip gas started spilling from the fill necks on the tanks (due to the pumps not checking the flow back into the tanks allowing gas to be pumped from one tank to the other). When I started checking into the repair, I found the safety recall referenced above. My most recent conversation with ford customer service (supervisor heather apparently somewhere in canada and with no call back number) was that ford was not required to do anything further on this vehicle since their records indicate that the recall was closed in 1998 on this vehicle, and even though the problem exists they would not provide any compensation for this repair. (the repair has already been made and an approximate cost of $1000). It seems to me that the repair was necessary regardless of the age of the vehicle or previous ford efforts to correct this safety design defect and it should be corrected at ford motor companys expense not mine. I have been given the impression by local parts stores and repair shops that this is still a common repair needed on these vehicles.
Recall 93v125000/ fuel assembly. According to ford recall repairs were performed, but problem still there.
Defective check valve /fuel pressure causes fuel to go from one tank to another tank, resulting in fuel spillage, and may cause a fire if there is a source of ignition. There is a recall for this problem, but this vehicle is not affected by recall. Please provide further information.
Fuel tank has rusted through due to a seam failure. Costing consumer about $500.00 for repair/parts. Academy ford is aware of numerous reports of failure of fuel tank. *ak

Front fuel tank leaks, had same problem on 1979 model year.
#ea99032; fuel is transferring from the rear tank to the front tank. Front tank holds less fuel than the rear tank which is causing fuel to spill over.

Took vehicle to the dealership, and mechanic grained the gasoline tank, and there was was a hole inside of the tank. There was moisture that got in between belt and gas tank, resulting in the hole.

I have the problem of campaign of 93v125000. I contacted the dealer and they said due to the VIN # I am not eligable. However the problem exists and it is very costly to fix.the fuel has spilled out of the tanks and the truck is hard to start.
Found that there were recalls for this problem but ford stated it was for trucks made in other states, wanted to be sure since this is a fire hazard.
Fuel pump in forward tank failed while driving on interstate,causing sudden and rapid deceleration and loss of power. When speed had finally dropped to below 25mph, I switched to the rear tank which in turn caused a sudden and rapid increase in engine and vehicle speed.
Ea 99 032/dual fuel tank crossflow leakage and 93v125 000/fuel tank assembly: a portion of the unused fuel from one tank is to be returned to second tank. When this occurs, the second tank exceeds its limit, causing fuel spillage. Spilled fuel can result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition. Manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that recall repairs were made in 1994. Feel free to provide further details.
This vehicle is experiencing the exact problem as indicated in manufacturer's recall 6781, fuel tanks leak into each other, causing an overflow of one of the tanks. Consumer contacted dealer who stated that the recall repairs have been done on this automobile in 1995, and will not re-do them. Consumer has been the owner of this vehicle from 2/98, and has the same reoccurring problem. *ak
The front fuel tank is leaking gasoline when filled. The leak in the front tank is coming from somewhere near the top of the tank.
The federal safety agency recall 93v125000 and manufacturer's recall 93s68/ fuel tank assembly. Consumer called ford customer service, and was told that they mailed out the recall notice back in 1893, and would not mail out another notice.
Check valve malfunctioned since fuel from the second tank passed to the first tank, resulting in a fuel spillage just as stated in recall 93v089000. Vehicle not included in recall because different model. Dealer refused to help, and is withholding information from private mechanics whom consumer went to see about the problem. *ak
A malfunctioned check valve within the fuel tank has gone bad which caused a portion of unused fuel to be pumped into the front tank, resulting in a pressure problem in the front tank, which could cause a fire. Note recall 93v125000 dealt with the same type of problem. However this vehicle was not included due to VIN. *ak.et.
Vehicle does not have a fuel leak. But very strong fumes flaw into the driver's compartment. Dealer has been contacted.
Fuel tank rusted thru under plastic end covers, leaking fuel.
Recall 93v125 000/fuel tank: auxiliary selector and switch: a portion of unused fuel from one tank was returned to second tank. When this occurred, the second tank exceeded, causing fuel spillage. This could result in a fire when exposed to a source of a ignition. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not covered under mfanufacturer's recall due to VIN.
Check valve malfunctioned, and rear tank pumped gas out of the front tank onto the ground. *ak to avoid the problem all fuel from front tank should be used up before switching to the rear tank other wise, the tank over flows causing engine misfiring as the result of too much gas in the fuel injection system.
