| Both front and rear fuel tanks recently started leaking on my 1993 ford f150 pickup after receiving a recall from ford for a problem with the fuel pressure regulator and mechanism for transfer of fuel from the tanks.at the time i took my pickup to 5 star ford for the recall they told me both fuel tanks were leaking at the seams of both tanks. i called ford customer service and they said the recall was for a defect that could cause transfer of fuel from one tank to another and cause leakage at the filler neck of the tanks. i believe the tanks are leaking at the seams either because of over pressure from the fuel pressure regulator causing excess pressure in the tanks or a defective joining of the tanks at their seams. i believe this to be a dangerous defect that could cause fire and property and body injury. i have requested ford to either repair the fuel tanks or replace them but they have refused. i think there is a serious risk of fire. i cannot afford the $700 5 star ford wanted to put two new fuel tanks on my pickup. please help!*ak | |||

| Smelled raw gas from the truck this past weekend. just purchased the tuck last month. i found that the seam on the gas tank is leaking gas. i transfed the fuel from the front tank to the rear,which is also heavy rusted. i contacted the dealer, the cost for a new tank is $175.00 for the front and a little less for the rear plus labor and anyother parts that may be needed. i am very lucky that there was no fire as the tank was near full, within five gallons of full!!!! i understand that the dealer does nor want to cover this cost or even partake in it as so many reports of leaking tanks have surfaced, in fact they had another call the same morning for another leaking tank. ford should be held to repair the tank problems before anyone is killed.*ak | |||

| The repair on the truck was to replace both fuel pumps to prevent gas from pumping from one tank to the other and out the filler hose onto the outside of the vehicle. this was not happening when i purchased the truck. ford motor company should have made this repair under a safety recall 93s68. according initial information provided to me by the local ford dealership and the repair shop, it appeared that this repair (recall) was not previously made on this vehicle. at the time, i called ford customer service line about this repair and was told that the vehicle was no longer covered by this safety recall because of age. i did not know about the recall until on a trip gas started spilling from the fill necks on the tanks (due to the pumps not checking the flow back into the tanks allowing gas to be pumped from one tank to the other). when i started checking into the repair, i found the safety recall referenced above. my most recent conversation with ford customer service (supervisor heather apparently somewhere in canada and with no call back number) was that ford was not required to do anything further on this vehicle since their records indicate that the recall was closed in 1998 on this vehicle, and even though the problem exists they would not provide any compensation for this repair. (the repair has already been made and an approximate cost of $1000). it seems to me that the repair was necessary regardless of the age of the vehicle or previous ford efforts to correct this safety design defect and it should be corrected at ford motor companys expense not mine. i have been given the impression by local parts stores and repair shops that this is still a common repair needed on these vehicles.*ak | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 1993 ford f150. the contact received a recall notice, but never took the vehicle to get repaired. the dealer stated that the recall was outdated and they would not perform the repair. the failure is a malfunctioning check valve within the fuel pump assembly that causes a portion of the unused fuel from one tank to return to the second tank. as a result, the capacity of the second tank becomes too great and creates fuel spillage. the vehicle is currently parked at his home. the recall number was unavailable. the current and failure mileages were 150,000. | |||

| I have found a problem with my vehicle which is, according to nhtsa campaign number 93v125000, recalled for a safety purpose. a malfunctioning check valve in the fuel pump assembly causes fuel to return to the second tank and overflow. there is a great chance for a fire because of the fuel overage. however, ford does not recognize this as a recall on my vehicle, based solely on my vehicle identification number. *jb | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated there was a recall on the vehicle, nhtsa campaign id # 93v125000 concerning the fuel system. this was completed accordingly as indicated in the recall. however, the recall did not correct the problem. the check valve within the fuel pump assembly causes unused fuel from one tank to recirculate to the secondary tank which results in fuel spillage from the filler neck. although the vehicle was seen by an independent repair shop, no repairs were made. | |||

| The front gas tank on my dual tank 93 f150 started leaking. i found that there is a plastic cover on the front of the tank that collects dirt and debris. the collection of this dirt and debris between the plastic cover and tank caused the tank to rust in the location. a leak developed. gas leaking on the ground is not a good thing. my remedy so far has been to not use the front tank. the tank is still on the truck and now has the plastic cover removed. i removed it to find where the leak was coming from. this appears to be a common problem since the tanks are easily available on e-bay all the time. *jb | |||

| Gas was spraying out of gas insertion point on side of truck from front tank. the truck has been previously repaired under recall in approx. 1994. contacted local ford dealer, they were aware of prior instances where this has occured and the cause of this problem. both tanks were recently filled for this to occur. gas from one tank is being pumped into the other tank from the return gas supply by a leak in the check valves. this problem has brought about many safety issues one being a fire hazard. ford motor company is unwilling to do anything to remedy this situation. ford's only response is that the recall has expired. it is my assumption that ford's design of the dual tank system was inferior or that inferioir parts are being used. this is putting my family and other families in jeopardy. | |||

| My 1993 ford f-150 was part of recall program 00s57 to replace fuel pressure regulator in dual tank trucks to avoid fuel spillage. this was done 06/19/02 although no redundant check valves were installed. the recall repair has failed and fuel is backwashing from the aft tank to the midship tank, causing it to overflow. the local ford dealer(coastal ford) states it is no longer responsible, and i cannot get ford motor company to contact me. this is dangerous and this has happened subsequently to others. please help! | |||
