Noticed gasoline runs from under truck when tank is filled up with gas. On 11/30/2010, filler neck on fuel tank cracked profusely as well as fuel inductor line; fuel was pouring out under truck as I watched the gas gauge go from 1/4 of a tank full to empty in 2 seconds. Dealer indicates that original fuel inductor lines (that fits on top of tank) and tank are no longer available from ford dealer. Entire fuel system must be replaced.

1993 ford ranger fuel filler tube is made of steel and mounted so road salt can corrode it. Fuel filler tube leaks gasoline on pavement every time I refuel. Part is $429 plus install. Leaking fuel at the gasoline station seems dangerous, would you agree?

Fuel filler neck has split at the tank connection bend. Fuel leaks profusely out of this split when tank is filled. When the tank reaches full capacity, the fuel filler outer hose fills up partially. The fuel in the outer hose then leaks out onto the tank and ground. I am repeating this claim for 2 separate vehicles, a '93 and a '94.

Gas leaks from the filler neck and tank when refueling. The scent of gasoline lingers for a couple of days after fillup. The amount of fuel lost about 1/2 to 1 gallon. There is the potential for a possible fire since this occurs at the gas station, from static electricity or heat from the catalytic converter. This truck has never been involved in an accident or used off road. I am a personal friend of the original owner, who sold the truck to my brother whom I obtained the truck from.

My 1993 ford ranger 4wheel drive pick up suddenly started leaking gas. The dealership told me that the gas tank separated and thats what caused the leak. This vehicle is 4wheel drive, but I never take it off roads and I live in a very temperate climate (the bay area). We have no extreme cold or heat and I find it hard to believe this is normal. I want to make sure this is not some defect.

While filling up gas tank a hose which is connected to the tank began to leak. Please provide any additional information. Nlm

Filed Sep 10, 2001 · Fuel system · LA

Fuel tank crack on the upper portion of the tank in the area where the middle strap crosses the tank. Contacted ford motor co., no recalls, therefore, no assistance with the purchase of a new fuel tank, only available from the manufacturer at $335.72. I have owned this truck since new, and it has never been abused or driven over rough terrain to warrant a fuel tank cracking and leaking.
