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.
1994 Ford Ranger fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 63, newest first, as owners wrote them.
1994 ford ranger extended cab pickup 4.0 l v6 engine current mileage 65,000. Mileage at failure 63,000. The fuel filler hose from the fuel filler neck to the fuel tank developed cracks that allowed fuel to spill on the ground when the vehicle was refilled. Odor of fuel is always present when vehicle is stopped. Took the truck to local service shop for replacement of filler hose. Hose is not available from dealer and cost of part was excessive if it were available. Repair shop made temporary repair by applying sealant to fuel filler hose until part becomes available.

1994 ranger pick-up failed smog test due to a break in the gas tank filler assembly. Smog specialist said all rangers mfgd between 1989 and 1997 were failing smog pressure tank. Fact verified by my mechanic. Cost of repair $600. Ford should recall these vehicles to effect replacement of the defective part.
No event LED to premature failure unless you consider the emissions test , the failure is of the filler neck assembly on the gas tank, a crack occurs,then leaking ,dripping,and constant fumes, this has occurred twice on my truck and many trucks of the same model. Corrected the problem with a replacement assembly, the 2nd time,I attempted to seal the assembly,which held for awhile but has also failed..yes the old part is available ,as for the radiator fan, its plastic and breaks from heat every year, I have replaced it more times than I can remember,yes the old part is available.

Fuel filler neck in my 1994 ford ranger leaks.
(1) normal use (2) fuel filler hose cracking causing eminent fire danger during fill ups. (3) replace rubber filler hose.
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.
Gas line leak.
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.
Gas filler neck of my 94 ford ranger.
When I fill the vehicle with gas, an estimated 8-16 ounces of gasoline leaks out of top of fuel tank. This is a result of a cracked rubber "fuel filler hose" which interconnects fuel filler cap with gas tank. This is a major safety (fire hazard) and environmental concern.
Second failure of the full tank inlet hose on my 94 ranger. Both hoses failed at the same point and have caused large amount of fuel to leak from tank. Ford is aware of this problem but refuses to acknowledge a competent solution. As with all complaints to ford, I assume this one will be ignored as well.(second complaint, same subject).
Dt*: the contact stated the fuel filler tube cracked which caused strong odor of gas fumes in the cab and surrounding the vehicle. The problem caused poor mileage and fuel spillage when refueled due to loss of vacuum in the filler tube. The contact replaced the filler tube. The service dealer and manufacturer were not notified.
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.
I bought my 1994 ranger used. I noticed the gas gauge did not work. Repairs require the removal of the gas tank, and/or truck bed. In researching this problem I discovered that is a pervasive issue with these vehicles and that the problem is created by pin holes developing in the float, causing it to fill with fuel and sink, thereby giving a false empty signal. This requires one to calculate a rough estimate of remaining fuel based on fuel efficiency, which is not a constant factor. The danger is that one might run out of fuel without adequate warning, causing an unexpected loss of power to the brake and steering systems.
Fuel filler hose assembly has failed twice on 1994 ford ranger pickup. First hose assembly failed at 73,000 miles on may 5, 2001 causing large amounts of fuel to spill when filling the tank and when driving. The replacement hose assembly failed again after 55,000 miles on it on march 3, 2006. This failure was at the exact same place on the hose and also caused large amounts of fuel to spill when filling tank and when driving. First hose was replaced by a ford dealership at a cost to me of $650 and the 2nd hose replaced by an independent shop at a cost of $480. Both times, I paid for the replacements. The replacement hoses were all genuine ford products. These hose appear to be defective in manufacture since both failures are in the exact same place on them. Ford refuses to discuss the matter of defective hoses and the extreme fire danger they pose. I have the most recently replaced cracked hose.
Gas tank filler neck or lines leaking. Fuel system non-compliance for emissions and thus no license.. Gas fumes always present,very poor mileage.
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.
I own a 1994 ford ranger with the 4.0l v6 engine. For the last few months I have not been able to fill my gas tank safely. If I fill the tank completely gasoline spills from the place where the tank meets the inlet tube. The inlet tube, which should be engineered to handle gasoline, is cracked due to insufficient construction. This defect is a danger to ranger owners due to the leaking of flammable gasoline. The price for a replacement tube from the dealer is astronomical. The dealership told me that they get a lot of rangers in with that exact problem. I spoke to ford on the phone, and they basically told me, too bad. This defect seems to be evident in years 93-94. I have spoken to many other ranger owners and they have expressed that the same defect exists in their trucks. It is only a matter of time before injury or death is experienced.
The gas tank filler neck is cracked and leaks.
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
The fuel filler hose has cracked on my 1994 ford ranger. The hose is ver hard and brittle and has cracked where it makes a bend into the tank. When I fill the tank a large quantity of gas spils on the ground before the pump kicks out. I was simply goung to replace the hose but ford will not sell me just the hose they want to sell me the entire filler assembly for about $ 300. This is outrages to have to pay this much for a hose that failed due to a poor design.
When I start my truck and only drive for a few miles or minutes and then shut the vehicle off, it won't restart for up to an hour. Eventually I hear what sounds like a valve opening and the hum of the fuel pump, and then the truck will start again. This problem has also caused my truck to not be able to pass the mandatory calif smog inspections, due to the mechanics can't figure out how to fix the situation. I feel the ford co. Should include the 94 ranger's in the same recall as the 93's that are having the same problem.
The left front seat belt failed to work properly. The seat belts would not latch or release on their own. Driver was filling up at the gas station and without warning gasoline poured out onto the ground. Driver took vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the filler neck and the seat belts needed to be replaced.
