| Have been to ford dealer for two recalls, ignition and fuel regulator. no charge to me. gas is still coming out of the filler neck of the tank i am not using, i switch to that tank and gas comes out of the other tank--that i am not using. the dealer says this is not a recall and i need to pay for new fuel pumps in each tank. i don't understand that since the truck is getting gas fine, just to much and being returned to the wrong tank. not being returned to the tank that is being used. i feel that this should be a recall and should not cost me $1000.00. hope someone can help me. | |||

| The reason for my complaint is that my truck has a damaged check valve. i have spent my own money to try and fix the problem, yet it still does not work properly. what is happening is i have a daul tank system. when i switch my tank to the rear it pumps gas to the motor but also pumps gas into the front tank causing it to overflow, thus creating a potential fire hazered for my wife and kids. i called ford and they said there is no recal on such a deffect. yet my mechanice pulled up a document off his computer under the (2000 mitchell repair information co. l.l.c.) under safty recall #93s68 which addresses this very problem. i beleve it is severe enough to bring it to your atten, and am asking you to get ford to fix this defect before my truck goes ablaze.*ak | |||

| I am an otr truck driver and i am very aware of problems with all vehicles that i drive. i came back to my work terminal and noticed a very strong smell of gasoline coming from my truck. i looked under it and saw that the rear fuel tank was leaking quite obviously from the seam. i contacted my local dealership and asked if there was a recall on the fuel tank, he said no. i then was told to contact ford and i asked if they had a recall on this vehicle and they said that the vehicle had been through a recall fix back in 1993. i hardly think that a fuel tank that was repaired would start leaking 6 years later, especially from the seam on the tank. i was told that my bumper to bumper warranty was up and that ford would not take care of my problem. dear sirs, i have two children and a wife who depend on me to provide the best care and protection. how can i protect my family from companies that don't care about anyone and only care about their pocketbook. *ak | |||

| My 1990 f-150 has two gas tanks. for the past week the gas has been going back and forth between the two tanks. i know this because i can fill the front tank and put 1/4 tank of gas in the rear tank. then an hour later the rear tank is holding the gas from the front tank. the big problem happened today when i filled the rear tank and then put $5 worth in the front tank. i had a 70 mile drive home. within the first 20 miles the rear tank which i had filled, was reading 1/4 full! so i switched to the front tank which was empty except for the $5 worth of gas i had put in. however, the front tank was now reading full! obviously the gas had gone somehow from the rear tank and up to the front tank. by the time i got about half way home, the cab of the truck was full of fumes. i stopped and got out because i developed a terrible headache. there was gas pouring from the underside of the truck. upon closer inspection, i realized the gas was spilling out from the rear tank at the area where the gas goes in at. when i checked the gauges the rear tank was now full (remember 30 minutes earlier it was only 1/4 full and the front tank was reading full),. the tank was obviously over full because it was spilling out from the area where the hose goes in to fill the tank.*ak | |||
