Fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: light duty trucks and cab chassis equipped with gasoline engines and dual fuel tanks. The carbon steel fuel pressure regulator in the fuel system can wear out during the life of the vehicle. If the fuel pressure regulator malfunctions, it can cause high fuel system pressure, which damages the fuel pump check valve. This allows fuel to be transferred from one tank to the other, possibly overfilling the non-operating tank, resulting in fuel overflow past the filler cap.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a vehicle fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will have a stainless steel fuel pressure regulator installed. Owner notification began july 9, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1‑866‑436‑7332. (see previous the federal safety agency recall 93v‑125/ford recall 93s68).
