| I recently purchased the vehicle and when examining the underside of the vehicle i noticed stains on fuel lines and fuel tank from leakage. 1.the fuel return hose is badly cracked near the fuel tank and has been leaking. 2. the floor of the vehicle directly above the fuel return line is stained from fuel which appears to have been sprayed upward from the fuel line. 3. there appears to have been leakage onto the top of the fuel tank which has flowed down the side of the tank, possibly from the spray from the fuel return line or bad gaskets on the top of the fuel tank . 4. there are 2 deep cracks in the rubber hose which runs from the fuel filler to the tank, there is no sign of leakage from these cracks. i felt that these problems should not be appearing on a 1993 vehicle and that i should notify nhtsa of these problems. thank you, doug nelson | |||

| Plastic fuel tank seems split on top of tank.now leaking fuel and fumes.took it to ford and they said they cannot help me because its out of warranty.called ford's main office in detroit, and they also said they cannot help me. a fuel tank should not be a part of a warranty item. there is no wear and tear like brake/engine/drive train.all it does it holds gasoline. it should not crack or split in a 5 years.it should last almost the life of the vehicle.i noticed this problem because i check under my truck often. there could be 1000's of van out there with this problem. i'm having the van fixed on the 29th of jan. 99 by an independent dealer.he will be replacing the fuel tank for approx. $500. i should be reimbursed for this repairs from ford due to a defect of workmanship on the tank, and it shouldn't be considered a warranty item in any vehicle. *ak | |||
