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
