VEHICLE IS SHOWING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 00V424000.

HE HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER HE IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL/INFORMATION.*AK

FUEL FROM ONE OF MY TWO GAS TANKS FLOWS INTO THE OTHER TANK. I THEN NOTE A DISTINCT ODOR OF GASOLINE, AND IF I REMOVE THE GAS CAP, GASOLINE WILL SPILL OUT OF THE TANK. IN ADDITION, THE REAR TANK HAS NOW DEVELOPED A LEAK. I UNDERSTAND THAT CERTAIN 1993 F150 FORD PICKUPS WERE RECALLED IN 1993 FOR HIGH FUEL PRESSURE DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE FUEL PUMP CHECK VALVE. THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO TO TRANSFERRED FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER, POSSIBLY OVERFILLING THE NON-OPERATING TANK, RESULTING IN FUEL OVERFLOW PAST THE FILLER CAP (NHTSA #93V125000) AND MORE WILL BE RECALLED IN MAY (NHTSA #00V424000, MFG #00S57). I HAVE CALLED FORD, BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME IF BY VEHICLE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS NEW RECALL. IT WAS NOT RECALLED IN 1993, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS AS NOTED IN THE TWO RECALLS THAT I REFER TO.*AK
