1994 FORD F-150 Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

ON MONDAY I NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR TANK (DUAL TANK SYSTEM) OF MY TRUCK. TUESDAY AFTER SWITCHING GAS USE FROM THE FRONT TO REAR WHEN I STOPPED AT A LOCAL STORE, GAS WAS DRIBBLING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED OUT OF THE GAS CAP AREA FROM MY REAR TANK. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME PRESSURE CAUSED THE GAS TO PRACTICALLY EXPLODE OUT OF THE GAS CAP BY THE GALLONS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO BE CALLED TO ENSURE THAT MOVING THE TRUCK DID NOT START A FIRE AND TO CLEAN THE SPILL. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT APPEARS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THROUGH FORD FOR EARLIER DUAL TANK MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER :93V125000). MANY OTHER 1994 F-150 OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE BUT A RECALL HAS NOT YET BEEN ISSUED (EXAMPLE: NHTSA COMPLAINT # 10533605). I ASSURE YOU THAT THIS WAS INDEED A HUGE FIRE HAZARD! ACCORDING TO YOUR FILES, IN 1993, FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE THROUGH RECALL 93V-125. WHY HAVEN'T OTHER OWNERS WITH DUAL TANKS BEEN NOTIFIED? IN ADDITION, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN ANOTHER RECALL FOR LATER FORD MODELS? *TR

THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE BOTH FUEL TANKS WERE FULL THE FRONT TANK WOULD PUMP FUEL INTO THE BACK TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,000. THE CURRENT APPROXIMATE MILEAGE IS 163,000. UPDATED 9/17/13*CN THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN BOTH TANKS WERE OVER HALF FULL, WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT TANK WOULD RUN THE TRUCK AND AT THE SAME TIME, PUMP EXTRA FUEL INTO THE REAR TANK, CAUSING GAS TO OVER FLOW FROM THE GAS GAP, AND ONTO THE GROUND.

WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2 TANK VALVE WHICH WAS PUSHING GAS INTO THE FRONT TANK AND WITH NO WHERE TO GO IT CAME OUT UNDER THE HOOD IN THE OVER FLOW CANISTER. BUT WE WERE TOLD OUR VIN # WAS NOT MADE AT A CERTAIN PLANT. BUT IF THIS IS A FACTORY FAULT WHY WOULD IT HAVE TO BE MADE AT A CERTAIN PLANT. WE COULD NOT EFFORD TO FIX ON OUR OWN AND WERE TOLD TO FILL THE FRONT TANK ONLY. WHAT HAPPENS IF MY WIFE FORGETS AND FILLS BOTH TANKS AGAIN WITH OUR CHILDREN INSIDE.

FRONT FUEL TANK LEAKS JUST ABOVE SEAM LINE APPROX 1AND1/2 INCHES ABOVE SEAM. THE SEAM IS AT AN ANGLE.THE FRONT OF THE TANK IS PITTED. THERE IS A PROTECTIVE COVER ON THE FRONT THAT IS MOLDED TO THE SHAPE OF THE TANK .THERE ARE NO DRAIN HOLES IN THE COVER. IF THE COVER IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE SEAM THE WATER WILL STAY ABOVE THE SEAM. THE DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW MOISTURE TO RUN OFF IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A FOWARD PITCH AS MINE IS AT MY HOME.ALSO IF YOU LOOK IN BETWEEN THE BED AND THE CAB , AT THAT POINT YOU SEE THAT THE TANK SLOPES FOWARD TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.
