Fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly

What is wrong
Certain pickup trucks may have a fuel tank with localized depressions in the fuel tank wall at the seam between top and bottom halves of the tank. If a depression is large enough, fuel may permeate the fuel tank wall resulting in a fuel odor, or the "service engine soon" indicator light in the instrument cluster may illuminate.
Risk
If left uncorrected, a fuel leak could eventually develop.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel tank on these vehicles. Owner notification began on may 6, 2004. Owners should contact ford at 1‑800‑248‑0186.
