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.
Leak developed due to crack in top of plastic fuel tank. Crack was located under support strap. Tanks are currently back ordered from factory which insinuates a problem may exist. Properly engineered and installed plastic components not exposed to uv or impact damage should not fail after seven years.
Fuel tank, made of plastic, causes fuel to leak out of the tank from the seams. Contacted manufacturer & the dealer.
Plastic fuel tank spontaneously split at a seam near the top of the tank, dumping fuel into an attatched garage. There has never been any trauma to this vechicle. This resulted in a life threating situation for my family. Fortunately, there was not an ignition agent present. Please investage. I contacted ford and they did not seem to care. The cost to repair the defect was about $500.00. I still have the defective tank.
Fuel tank replace due to leakage. Believe that leakage was result of hole worn in plastic tank by metal holding strap. Strap may have fitted too tightly by manufacturer.
The fuel tank filler seal cracked, causing the fuel to leak out, almost causing a fire. Cause unknown. Dealer cannot determine problem.
