What 1994 Ford Ranger owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Since approximately 2000 I have been unable to fill the truck with gas. I can not fill the tank, if I do the fuel will just spill on the ground. Hose from fuel fill to tank must be cracked.
I left my truck for inspection on 12/9/13. It would not inspect because of a small leak in one of the flexible fuel line cables that lead from the main fuel line to the engine. This part was supposedly on recall at some past date. The federal safety agency recall is #94v111001. I never received any correspondence on this recall. Unfortunately, ford informs me that the part is discontinued, and my mechanic is unable to find a replacement part anywhere. I am currently trying to find a machine shop that can make the part. My question is "do I have any options that I could pursue against ford".

1994 ford ranger, has a cracked fuel filler hose that causes fuel to spill out when filling the tank, during warm weather you can get to 3/4 of a tank before fuel spillage starts, in winter just a little over 1/2 tank. When I approached the dealer about getting parts to repair I was told they are on backorder. His comment to me was there are 2 types of rangers out there, those that leak and those that have been fixed. In other words this is a known issue ford has with the rangers that they are choosing to ignore. In checking other sources it seems to be rangers from at least 1993 - 2009 have this issue.
Fuel tank filler hose leaks and causes excessive waste.
Failure of fuel tank filler neck tube resulting in major loss of fuel.
1994 ranger xlt. Was filling fuel tank when fuel began leaking from under side of truck. Stopped filling process immediately and when I inspected the leak, I found that the fuel was coming form the clamp area of the filler hose. Checked prices of replacements and opted to do self repair using metal duct tape. Repair has held for 3-4 years. I've never experienced this on another vehicle.
Fuel spilling from top of gas tank and fuel inlet. Cracks in fuel filler neck/hose.
Third complaint regarding fuel filler hose assembly on 1994 ford ranger. Failure of hose assembly has been at the same place on all three genuine ford parts. After the beating they are giving toyota with 100 complaints, it seems that someone would act on our behalf. I cannot afford to repair again so will seek alternatives such as fabricating my own, bet it wont leak then.
