1994 Mazda B-Series Truck fuel system problems

Approximately 4-5 months ago I began to experience engine surging while driving in town. Unable to find any vacuum leaks, I inspected the fuel filler neck to find it badly deteriorated in the area just above the gas tank. I replaced it with a new oem quality neck. At the same time I replaced the throttle position sensor, the coolant temperature sensor, rebuilt the fuel injectors and replaced the intake manifold gasket. Afterward, I did not experience any surging until a few weeks ago when, approaching a stop sign, the engine began racing so badly that I quickly shifted into neutral and steered to the shoulder of the road, narrowly avoiding a rear end collision. Since then I have driven the truck about 100 miles without incident. The truck has been driven 90,000 miles and well maintained. It may not be relevant to this problem, but this engine was built without an egr valve and egr vacuum solenoid.

The filler tube going to the gas tank ruptured. When I filled the tank, gas spilled on the ground. Fumes are always around the truck. I paid to have this tube replaced. The truck had 53 k miles. Now it has done the same thing at 74 k miles. I think that this is a very dangerous condition and is costly to keep repairing.

My 1994 mazda b3000 pickup (I.e. Ford ranger) leaks gasoline when being filled at the filling station due to a faulty fuel tank filler neck. Fuel spills on the ground of filling station (approx 1/2 gal) and is a fire hazard. Cost to replace fuel filler neck is $280 from ford dealership, not including labor - this is prohibitively expensive for a rubber hose. Many other ranger owners experience this same problem, thus indicating that there's a defect in the design/construction of the filler neck.
