Had filled vehicle with gasoline. Noticed that the tank had started to leak afterwards. Took vehicle to dealer & had it checked. The mechanic noticed the fuel was leaking from the top of the tank in & around the seam area.
Fuel tank filler pipe failure, insufficient interference fit between fuel tank filler pipe and grommet could result in an inadequate seal allowing fuel to seep.
The grommet in the fuel tank is leaking. Fuel is escaping from the tank and may cause a fire. There is a constant escape of fuel moving or stationary. Therefore this system will not pass smog because when pressurized, it will not hold air. This is acalifornia requirement. It is also most dangerous. Ford motor co. Will not correct this problem. The 9 recalls for this model is on your system.
