1993 Ford Ranger: fuel leak

Filed Sep 3, 2010 · Fuel system · RI

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.

Neck on plastic fuel tank cracked - fuel leaking all under truck & on floor of garage. Problem was noticed when I started to move truck to go to work. After backing truck out of garage and seeing fuel on floor, I called a for a tow. Dealer indicates that plastic fuel tank has cracked for no apparent reason. No indication of impact. Original fuel tank is nolonger availiable from ford. A new style (dealer indicates new style tank and fuel fill are required) repalcement is being ordered and installed by the dealer. What would make a fuel tank crack without some type of inpact? I looked under the truck and a large area of the underside was covered with fuel. I think I was lucky not to have a fire in my house when I started the truck. I had just filled up the tank and there was a circle of fuel about 2ft. Across on the floor of the garage.
