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.
