1995 Ford F-150 fuel system problems

Filed Jun 28, 2021 · Fuel system · AL

My vehicle has 2 fuel tanks. In the last month I have been noticing that the rest tank is pushing gas to the front tank. I have also noticed a strong fuel smell if I select the rear tank first after filling both tanks. Looking on line there is a the federal safety agency recall on 1990-1993 models. the federal safety agency # 93v125000. This appears to be a common occurrence on multiple years from what complaints are on line. I have not had the vehicle inspected. I just figured out what the issue is. A mechanic told me that the strong gas smell is the front tank over filling by the rear tank. He said there is a check valve that needs to replaced.

My truck has dual fuel tanks. Fuel from the front tank is diverted into the rear tank. This causes the rear tank to overflow gasoline out of the gas cap. This happens when the truck's engine is running and it is stationary or in motion. I have to make sure the rear tank is never more than half full to keep this from happening. When I first discovered the problem I looked online and found other owners of this truck having the same problem. I believe it can be a fire hazard if leaking fuel should contact the trucks exhaust system. I own another ford f150 truck with the same problem.

While driving my dual tank 1995 ford f-150, using the rear tank, I noticed fuel being forced out of my front fuel filler cap. Not sure how much fuel was pumped out prior to my noticing. I had to let the truck sit while the fuel vapor dissipated. I finally got it home using the front tank. Not sure what to do with it now.

My 1995 ford f-150 has duel gas tanks and the rear tank straps have corroded causing the tank to loose all fuel(1/2 tank) leaking over the spare tire and underside of the tank. This started with the smell of raw fuel in july but could not find the leak until 3 days ago when I found a large gas spot on the drive way directly under the rear tank and the dripping fuel from the spare. I have not taken it to the dealer yet but am planning to this week. The tank has quit leaking due to being pretty well empty. But the odor is still there. The truck has 74,062.4 original miles at this time and I have owned it since november 1974. I have owned many ford's and even worked for ford at the heavy truck plant in louisville ky along with my uncle and two cousins . Never encountered anything like this before. I hope ford will rectify this problem.

Our 1995 ford f-150 burst into flames in our garage after being parked and not running for one hour. It was fine just ten minutes before the fire started. The fire in the garage caught the entire house on fire - we lost everything, although no personal injury. State farm forensic report shows origin to be driver side, on the engine side of the fire wall, and having something to do with the brake mechanism (I'm still waiting for a copy of the report). Can you compare my complaint to others and maybe tell me what might have started this fire? We have suffered a terrible loss, so we would like to know what started the fire if possible. There was brake work on this truck only six days before the fire.
