| The fuel overflow hose ford part # f7u79170aa has rotted and cracked approximately 1.5'' long just above the clamp that secures it to the fuel tank. after refueling, the gas fumes are quite strong and would leave a puddle of fuel under vehicle. would also loose fuel when driving when tank was over 3/4 full. fuel would drip down from all sides of fuel tank. the possibility of fuel blowing back onto the hot exhaust and brakes is extremely high. i am holding onto the defective fuel overflow hose if anyone would like to see it. *jb | |||
