THE FUEL STARTED TO RUN OUT OF THE FRONT FUEL TANK. I LOST MOST OF THE FUEL OUT OF THE REAR TANK THAT SPILLED ON THE ROAD. I THINK THAT THIS IS A FIRE WAITING TO HAPPEN. NOW I DO NOT USE THE REAR TANK TO STOP THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE FORD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THERE TRUCKS AND THEY SHOULD FIX A FUEL PROBLEM. THAT HAS HAPPENED IN MANY OF THERE TRUCKS NO MATTER OF THE MILEAGE OR AGE. *JB

I HAVE A 1990 FORD F150 TRUCK. ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FUEL FROM THE BACK TANK HAS FLOWED OVER INTO THE FRONT TANK. ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS, I HAVE GONE TO MY TRUCK TO FIND GASOLINE ALL OVER THE GROUND. I STILL HAD TO PUT A BUCKET UNDER THE TANKS FILLERS TO ALLOW THE EXCESS GAS IN THE FRONT TANK TO FLOW DOWN.ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAD THE TRUCK PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THE GAS THAT FLOWED OUT COVERED ALMOST MY ENTIRE GARAGE FLOOR. ON THE THIRD OCCASION, ENOUGH GAS HAD FLOWED FROM THE TANK TO REACH MY LAWN. IF SOMEONE HAD COME TO MY HOME SMOKING, OR SOME OTHER IGNITION SOURCE WAS TO HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH IT, MY HOUSE WOULD HAVE BURNED TO THE GROUND. I NOW HAVE TO PARK THE TRUCK OUTSIDE FOR FEAR OF IT CAUSING MY HOUSE TO BURN.

I OWN A 1990 FORD F-150 WITH RECALL # 93S68. THIS IS A CROSS DUAL TANK FUEL CONDITION WHERE THE FRONT TANK OVERLOADS WITH UNUSED FUEL . FRONT TANK IS IN-OPERABLE AND ONLY REAR TANK BEING USED. FRONT TANK CONTINUES TO SPILL FUEL WHEN PARKED AND AFTER 6 YRS OF REPEATED ATTEMPTS IN CONTACT WITH FORD I STILL CAN GET NO RELIEF. I HAVE HAD 2 93S68 RECALLS AND STILL THE TANK LEAKS DANGEROUS GASOLINE EVERYWHERE IT IS PARKED. WHAT AMAZES ME IS HOW FORD HAS BURIED THIS RECALL CONSIDERING WHAT A HAZARD LEAKING FUEL PRESENTS. HAVING OWNED THE TRUCK FOR 10 YRS AND SINCE IT IS IN OTHERWISE PERFECT CONDITION , I AM HOPING AN AGENCY SUCH AS YOURS WOULD HELP ME TO FORCE FORD TO HONOR THIS RECALL UNTIL I AM SATISFIED. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT ANY TIME AT THE 2 PH3'S PROVIDED . THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE TRIED TO ENLIST THE ASSIST OF NHTSA . *AK

I HAVE DUEL TANKS, OVER THE PAST YEAR THE FUEL MOVED FROM 1 TANK TO THE OTHER TANK. NOW THE FUEL IF LEFT TO FULL. WILL DISCHARGE FROM THE FILLER ON THE OTHER TANK. I COTACTED FORD, AND GOT NO HELP. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT HER HUSBAND'S TRUCK WAS LEAKING GAS FROM THE FRONT TANK. THEY TRIED USING ONLY THE BOTTOM TANK, BUT FOUND THAT THE FRONT TANK STILL FILLED UP AND LEAKED. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, WHO TOLD CONSUMER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT PUMPED GAS FROM ONE TANK TO ANOTHER.*AK *JB
