| Leak from on top of front fuel tank in the area of the vapor valve grommet. sounds like the same problem as reported in nhtsa 87v111000. in relation to nhtsa #87v144000 188,000 vehicles were affected. were all 1987 e350, club wagons, with 7.5 liter engines involved in this recall? ford dealership states my van has not been under any recalls past or present. | |||
