THE FILLER TUBE GOING TO THE GAS TANK RUPTURED. WHEN I FILLED THE TANK, GAS SPILLED ON THE GROUND. FUMES ARE ALWAYS AROUND THE TRUCK. I PAID TO HAVE THIS TUBE REPLACED. THE TRUCK HAD 53 K MILES. NOW IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING AT 74 K MILES. I THINK THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND IS COSTLY TO KEEP REPAIRING. *TR

MY 1994 MAZDA B3000 PICKUP (I.E. FORD RANGER) LEAKS GASOLINE WHEN BEING FILLED AT THE FILLING STATION DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL TANK FILLER NECK. FUEL SPILLS ON THE GROUND OF FILLING STATION (APPROX 1/2 GAL) AND IS A FIRE HAZARD. COST TO REPLACE FUEL FILLER NECK IS $280 FROM FORD DEALERSHIP, NOT INCLUDING LABOR - THIS IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE FOR A RUBBER HOSE. MANY OTHER RANGER OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS SAME PROBLEM, THUS INDICATING THAT THERE'S A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION OF THE FILLER NECK. *NM

Mileage: 114,000

DT: THE GAS TANK FILLER HOSE ON THE MAZDA PICK UP TRUCK IS FAULTY AND IS LEAKING GASOLINE WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, AND FUMES WHEN THE TANK IS HALF FULL OR LESS.

CONSUMER HAS PLACED ON ORDER FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. CONSUMER HAD REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT 4 YEARS. HOWEVER, PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

GAS SPILL OF APPROX. 1/4 GALLLON AT END OF EVERY FILL UP.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED CONSUMER NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT FUEL LINE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

I HAVE A 1994 MAZDA B3000 WITH 75000 MILES AND AFTER TEN YEARS THE TANK HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK IN AN AREA THAT IS PROTECTED FROM ROAD DEBRIS AND HAS NO STREES OR FLEX . I BELEIVE THAT THIS TANK WHILE IT IS TEN YEARS OLD IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE RESULT COULD BE FIRE FROM THE LEAKING FUEL . THE CRACK IS NOT AT A SEAM . THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED IN ROUGH TERRAIN CAUSING STRESS. *JB

HAD TAKEN VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION, WHICH IT COULD NOT PASS DUE TO LACK OF FUEL PRESSURE. CONSUMER CONTACTED MECHANIC AND HE SAID TO CHECK FUEL PIPE HOSE. IN FACT THERE WAS A LEAKAGE BELOW HOSE CLAMP. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. *AK *JB

GAS FUMES INSIDE VEHICLE AFTER IT WARMED UP, USUALLY AFTER DRIVING 30-40 MILES.*AK

AFTER SMELLING GAS AND SEEING A PUDDLE IN THE GARAGE FLOOR, OWNER HAD TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALER FOUND THE FUEL TANK TO BE LEAKING FROM THE FORWARD PART OF THE TANK, RIGHT NEXT TO THE STRAP TIE DOWN POINT. FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

THE ORIGINAL FUEL TANK LEAKED GASOLINE. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT OR ANY OTHER EXTERNAL FORCE. THE ENTIRE TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A TANK THIS OLD SHOULD NOT RUPTURE. I WORK WITH A FELLOW WHO OWNS A 1994 FORD RANGER (SAME TRUCK) THAT ALSO HAD TO REPLACE A BAD TANK. IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THE ODOR, THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CREATED A FIRE. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER REPORTS OF RUPTURES IN FUEL TANKS FOR 1994 MAZDA OR FORD PICKUPS? *AK

PLASTIC FUEL TANK CRACKED, LEAKING GAS.

VEHICLES FUEL SYSTEM SHUT OFF DID NOT WORK IN ACCIDENT.VEHICLE HAD ROLLED 3-4 TIMES. TT
