Consumer is concerned about gasoline leaking from underneath vehicle, from fuel hose.
When tank is full can smell strong gas fumes coming from outside of car. Consumer thinks its related to the filler neck.*ak the strong gas fume is caused by deteriorating vent hiose .
The fuel overflow hose broke on my 1993 mercury villager. This caused a fuel leak and a puddle of raw gas in my attached garage. Luckily, we noted it and move the vehicle outside and cleaned the fuel up. The mechanic stated that he had replaced about 8 of these hoses in the past couple of years, 3 this year alone. This is a very dangerous condition.
Fuel leakage after fillup on a warm day and fuel tank was not over filled.
I have experienced fuel tank/line/pump leaks on two occaisons. In july 1999 following a fuel pump replacement I had a leak in the tank and or fuel lines. In june 2000 I again had a fuel leak. The dealer repaired it, at a cost of approx. $60.00 and replaced a fuel or vent line.
Consumer smelled fuel odor when gas tank was closed. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information.
Could smell gasoline vapors in van at idle on cold days. Found the smell was gas leaking from from the neoprene fuel lines connected to the fuel injector rails. (note: discovered cause, by reading article in cincinnati inquirer, 4/29/00) about a 95 nissan quest with the identical problem)
Fuel is leaking from the fuel tank . Vehicle was inspected by a private mechanic who determined that fuel tank was not cracked. Manufacturer has been notified.
The manifold bolts had broke and fumes entered the vehicle. This caused the driver to be sleepy. The vehicle was making noises. There was no warning regarding the broken bolts. Vehicle was taken to dealer for repairs. The fuel pump and the distributor was replaced due to jumping.
Vehicle experiencing fuel leakeages from fuel filler neck. Manufacturer has been notified.
Raw gas odor through whole van.
When filling gas, gas would start to leak just before the pump automatic shuts off. If stop filling about 1 gallon short of full, no leak occurs. However, if park car at an incline, gas would leak indicating that fuel filler hose has crack at top. This is similar to an earlier recall for vehicles manufactured on an earlier date. I just noticed this so I do not know whether the failure is in existence since date one of my purchase. I strongly feel that there should be a wider recall for this vehicle as a fire may result from this.
Gas spilled/leaked onto ground when tank was filled. Dealer states that seam of fuel tank was splitting and needed to be replaced.
Intake manifold bolts sheared off. Understand that this is a common problem and poorly designed part by ford. Believe this part warrants a recall.
