My ford f350 crewcab caught on fire for no apparent reason. I am just now finding out that there is a recall on my vehicle because of spontaneous fires on my year and model. I spent almost $3000.00 on repairs and have been having ongoing problems with the engine quitting while driving. I would like to know if there is any remedy that I can obtain from ford. I have not been able to use this truck for over 2 years because of the engine quitting and then a no start situation. Vehicle will start after it cools down but will stop within a half hour.this is frustrating because this is my only vehicle and I have lost use of the truck and had to stop working because I am a construction contractor and needed it to work. I have had the truck to the dealer numerous times. After researching problems online I had only found out then about possible underhood fires on my vehicle. I also found out about other tsb and recall information of which I had not been notified.

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).

1993 ford f-350 with a 5.8 engine, I received this info. From alldata. I read on ford's web site that a safety recall generally never expires... Recall #'s 00s57 fuel pressure regulator replacement, # 00v424000 fuel pressure regulator malfunction, # 01l008000 fuel pump check valve defect., all three of these have the same symptoms, causes fuel from the rear tank to transfer to the front tank and cause fuel to run out of the fuel filler neck of the front tank and down the side of the truck onto the ground. I have owned the truck for 6 years and have never received any type of notice for this, one notice states that vehicle owners would be notified starting may 2001, ford sent me an email today stating that they would not repair this, I even sent them the recall #'s, I hope that you can offer me some help on this, as I really do not want my truck to catch fire with or without my family in it. Thank you *tr updated 03/06/09.
