What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 1994 ford ranger. The contact stated that fuel fumes entered the vehicle. After inspecting the vehicle, he noticed that fuel was leaking from the hard fuel line to the radiator fan, which was blowing the fuel back under the engine. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer.

The failure and the current mileage was 85,000. Updated 7/28/15
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.
Tl*the contact owns a 1994 ford ranger. While placing fuel into the vehicle at the pump, gas leaked from the filler tube onto the ground.

In approximately may of 2007, the filler tube failed again. The current mileage was 110,000 and failure mileage was 65,000. Updated 09/17/08. *lj updated 09/24/08.

The filler hose on my 1994 ford ranger leaks gas all over the ground, which is very dangerous. It's rediculous that you must pay anywhere from $300 to $400 for this hose, and you can only get it from ordering from the dealer. I've read it's a very common and dangerous problem.
Dt*: the contact stated while attempting to fill the fuel tank, after half of the tank was full, any additional fuel leaked out of the filler pipe neck without warning. The dealer was alerted.
I have two '94 ford rangers, both of which have leaking fuel filler hoses. So far no fires or injuries, but it is only a matter of time.
Fuel filler hose on both of my 1994 ford rangers have cracked and fuel leaks when filling tank. So far no fires, but it is only a matter of time.
Dt: 1994 ford ranger- the truck has been having parking brake problems. When parking and putting the parking brake on the truck will roll back, the brake does not catch. The truck will do this every time, no matter if it is on an incline or on flat surface. This has been happening since the consumer bought the truck, took vehicle back to dealer several times , and they had never been able to fix it. The consumer owned the truck since it was new. Never had any accidents . Contacted the dealer, and they said there were no recalls on vehicle. *ak the vehicle also has a gas leak. Updated 08/14/06.
Try to fuel at the gas pump. While fueling gas leaks out the rubber hose that goes to the gas tank approximately 4 to 5 inches down. There is a crack in the hose does this have to anything to do with the nhtdsa recall campaign number 94v‑111 my ford ranger was built september 1994
I am being charged $1100.00, by south bay ford, for 2 repairs (both saftey related) that I believe ford should be liable for. 1) when I fill the gas tank, on my vehicle, to the top I get a large quantity of gas leaking on the ground. It appears the coupling between the filler neck and the tank is the problem. 2) the driver side seat belt latch would either not latch or would not release easily. The last time I actually had to cut the belt in order to exit the vehicle. After a small amount of research, on this site, I found other complaints for the same 2 problems on my model of vehicle.
