My taurus leaks fuel after filling the tank. The dealer replaced the rollover valve, vapor canister and evaporator solenoid and a hose clip on march 1, 01. In october 2001 I again noticed fuel dripping from the tank area after refuelling. The dealer is ordering a new tank. Ford tech hotline says there may be another defective rollover valve inside the tank. This poses a safety hazard which I believe should be reported.

I have had my taurus at the shop now 4 times. There is gas leaking out of my car everytime I fill up. I was told that I was "over filling" the tank, but that's crap. I am a working mother of 3 and I have to depend on my car. It is a real inconvience that I have to keep taking this car back and forth to the shop when it is only 9 months old. Ford should be willing to replace this car out of good buisness. I'm sure the president of the company would not like for his wife to have to drive a car with this problem or his children. This is only my second ford car, and with this experience under my belt, you can best believe that I will "never" purchase another one. It is my hope that the president of the company sees and reads this complaint.
