1995 Ford F-150 Fuel System

THE CURRENT RECALL DIDN'T GO BACK FAR ENOUGH, SINCE MY F150 GAS STRAPS ALSO BROKE OFF. *TT

MY 1995 FORD F-150 HAS DUEL GAS TANKS AND THE REAR TANK STRAPS HAVE CORRODED CAUSING THE TANK TO LOOSE ALL FUEL(1/2 TANK) LEAKING OVER THE SPARE TIRE AND UNDERSIDE OF THE TANK. THIS STARTED WITH THE SMELL OF RAW FUEL IN JULY BUT COULD NOT FIND THE LEAK UNTIL 3 DAYS AGO WHEN I FOUND A LARGE GAS SPOT ON THE DRIVE WAY DIRECTLY UNDER THE REAR TANK AND THE DRIPPING FUEL FROM THE SPARE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET BUT AM PLANNING TO THIS WEEK. THE TANK HAS QUIT LEAKING DUE TO BEING PRETTY WELL EMPTY. BUT THE ODOR IS STILL THERE. THE TRUCK HAS 74,062.4 ORIGINAL MILES AT THIS TIME AND I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE NOVEMBER 1974. I HAVE OWNED MANY FORD'S AND EVEN WORKED FOR FORD AT THE HEAVY TRUCK PLANT IN LOUISVILLE KY ALONG WITH MY UNCLE AND TWO COUSINS . NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. I HOPE FORD WILL RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS GASOLINE SPILLING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK OF THE REAR FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHERE THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE PUMP IN THE REAR TANK FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AT THAT TIME. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL # 93V125000, PERTAINING TO THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NO SPECIFIC SPEED, SPILLAGE OCCURS FROM THE SECONDARY GAS TANK. REGARDLESS, OF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT IS IN THE PRIMARY OR SECONDARY TANK THE SPILLAGE HAPPENS. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIR. UPDATED 03/28/06. *JB

A MALFUNCTIONING CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY CAUSES A PORTION OF THE UNUSED FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO BE RETURNED TO THE SECOND TANK. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE CAPACITY OF THE SECOND TANK CAN BE EXCEEDED, CAUSING FUEL SPILLAGE. *JB

THE GAS TANK RUSTED AND LEAKED SEVERELY. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED. *AK *SC *JB

I HAVE A DUAL FUEL TANK SYSTEM. THE REAR TANK IS PUMPING GAS INTO THE FORWARD TANK. THE FORWARD TANK IS OVERFLOWING PAST THE FILLER CAP AND SPILLING TO THE GROUND. THESE SYMPTOMS ARE INDENTICAL TO THE 1993 F-SERIES FUEL SYSTEMS PROBLEMS NHTSA ID # 00V-424, MFG CAMPAIGN # 00S57. I JUST WENT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN AND SAID THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED UNDER THIS RECALL. THE DEALER IS MORE THAN WILLING TO HELP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN WOULD FIRST HAVE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE CAUSE AND FIND OUT IF THE FAILURE IS DUE TO THE SAME PART BEING DEFECTIVE AS THE RECALL ITEMS. THEN I WOULD HAVE TO BATTLE FORD TO PAY FOR THE FIX. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY SOMETIMES HAVE TROUBLE GETTING FORD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL, EVEN IF IT IS THE SAME PART MALFUNCTIONING. I AM GOING TO BEGIN REPAIRING THE VEHICLE SOON AND WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. HAVING SEEN THAT THESE SAME SYMPTOMS HAVE APPEARED ON EARLIER MODELS I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND SUSPECT THAT OTHER SAME YEAR VEHICLES AS MY MAY DEVELOP THIS PROBLEM.

CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS.ALSO STATED THAT WHILE STANDING IN THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING WITH AIR CONDITIONING ON GASOLINE HAD LEAKED ALL OVER THE FLOOR. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND STATED THAT THEY WON'T FIX THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALLS, AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD NO WARRANTY. CONSUMER HAD REPLACE THE FUEL TANK THREE TIMES SO FAR.*AK

LEAKING FUEL TANKS. BOTH OF MY FUEL TANKS LEAK ON MY 1995 FORD F150. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I ALSO HAVE A 1992 F150 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. FOR YEARS, YET HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *LA

WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE THE FUEL LINE MELTED AND CAUSED A FIRE. *NLM

FORD-F150 WITH 2 FUEL TANKS. REAR FUEL TANK LEAKS GAS FROM BOTTOM OF TANK ABOVE SPARE TIRE. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD AND IS ALWAYS IN USE/TANKS ARE ALWAYS ROTATED.*JB

THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS. WHEN THE TRUCK IS RUNNING ON THE REAR TANK, AND THE FRONT TANK IS FULL, THE REAR TANK PUMPS FUEL INTO THE ALREADY FULL FRONT TANK, CAUSING IT TO OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FUEL CAP AND SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK ONTO TO THE GROUND. THE FORD DEALER SAID THAT THE 1989 TO 1993 MODELS WERE COVERED BY A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE 1995 MODELS. I CALLED FORD BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I BELIEVE THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED ON THIS PROBLEM THIS COULD BE A REAL FIRE HAZARD. *NLM

I HAVE A 1995 FORD F150 WITH DUEL FUEL TANKS. I DROVE HOME FROM WORK AND FOUND MY TRUCK FLOWING FUEL OUT OF THE FRONT TANK FILLER AFTER THE TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF. I RESEARCHED QUICKLY ON LINE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH 94-95 TRUCKS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THEN I CHECKED YOUR INTERNET SITE. THE FOLLOWING ARE RECALL NUMBERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM...EXCEPT THEY ARE FOR THE YEARS OF 1990-1993. 01I0080000 , 93V125000 , 00V424000 . I WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM IN SEPTEMBER OF 2002. THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE BY THEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY TRUCK. I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS...THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT THEY ADMITTED TO IN THE EARLIER VEHICHLES! FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE IN THIS YEAR VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY FORD CAN GET AWAY WITH SUCH AN OBVIOUS SAFTY ISSUE. SHOULD I FILL BOTH FUEL TANKS AND PARK MY TRUCK IN FRONT OF THIER SHOWROOM DOOR? PLEASE HELP ME RECTIFIY THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. GREG HANSON
