Duel tank problem under investigation by you now. Problem caused by faulty check valve. One fuel filter, one fuel line going to engine, two fuel pumps (one on each tank). Must have check valve to keep fuel from pumping back into unused tank. Check valve failure will cause inused fuel to pump into unused tank, overfilling tank and causing it to leak out fill cap. Gas drips out of fill cap. If vehicle has duel exhaust, gas could drip on exhaust causing fire and explosion. Dealer agrees with my evaluation. Please call for more information. This is a serious problem!
Front fuel tank has been leaking for an undetermined amount of time - no fire yet

The federal safety agency recall 93v125000/fuel tank assembly: vehicle experienced same problem as in recall; dealer notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not part of recall due to VIN.
The problem consists of gas being pumped from the back tank to the front on a dual tank system. This item was a recall item, and when my truck was in for service for other work at cox ford in hampstead md they indicated that they performed the recall repair on the fuel system for this exact problem, though I was having no trouble with the fuel tank assembly at that time. About a year and a half later I noticed that after I exhausted the front tank and switched to the rear tank, once the rear tank was exhausted I noticed that the front tank would then have as much as 1/3 tank of fuel in it. I decided to live with the problem for the time being, but approached the dealer about this during april 1999 and the dealer informed me that since the recall repair had been previously done and the repair warranty had expired, any subsequent repairs would be my responsibility. Needless to say I am not very happy with ford's handling of this problem. The problem comporomises my vehicle's safety and resale value, and I have to be careful not to accidentally pump my rear tank before the front is empty.

Vehicle has dual fuel tanks. One tank was dumping fuel into other tank tank & caused an overflow & would spill.

A portion of unused fuel from one tank is returning to the second tank,causing spillage. A recall has been issued on the vehicle's make/model. However this vehicle was not included due to VIN. Dealer has inspected the vehicle . Manufacturer has been notified.
Gas was spraying out of gas insertion point on side of truck from front tank. The truck has been previously repaired under recall in approx. 1994. Contacted local ford dealer, they were aware of prior instances where this has occured and the cause of this problem. Both tanks were recently filled for this to occur. Gas from one tank is being pumped into the other tank from the return gas supply by a leak in the check valves. This problem has brought about many safety issues one being a fire hazard. Ford motor company is unwilling to do anything to remedy this situation. Ford's only response is that the recall has expired. It is my assumption that ford's design of the dual tank system was inferior or that inferioir parts are being used. This is putting my family and other families in jeopardy.
