1990 ford f-150 truck has duel fuel tanks; fuel is pumping from the back tank to the front tank and over spilling through the fuel cap onto the ground. Letter from manufacturer dated 7-19-2001 states that this is not a safety recall and therefore they will not correct problem. Question: how can recalls from 8-15-1989 and 8-2-1993 which caused overflow and spillage be approved as a safety recall; yet the 7-19-2001 issue which results in the same overflow and spillage not be approved as a safety recall? problem with the overflow started in october 2007 -- fuel spilled due to cross tank fuel flow. At this point, only one tank can contain fuel and the other tank must remain empty for the spillage to cease.

I am an otr truck driver and i am very aware of problems with all vehicles that i drive.i came back to my work terminal and noticed a very strong smell of gasoline coming from my truck.i looked under it and saw that the rear fuel tank was leaking quite obviously from the seam.i contacted my local dealership and asked if there was a recall on the fuel tank, he said no.i then was told to contact ford and i asked if they had a recall on this vehicle and they said that the vehicle had been through a recall fix back in 1993.i hardly think that a fuel tank that was repaired would start leaking 6 years later, especially from the seam on the tank.i was told that my bumper to bumper warranty was up and that ford would not take care of my problem.dear sirs, i have two children and a wife who depend on me to provide the best care and protection.how can i protect my family from companies that don't care about anyone and only care about their pocketbook.

My 1990 f-150 has two gas tanks.for the past week the gas has been going back and forth between the two tanks.i know this because i can fill the front tank and put 1/4 tank of gas in the rear tank.then an hour later the rear tank is holding the gas from the front tank.the big problem happened today when i filled the rear tank and then put $5 worth in the front tank.i had a 70 mile drive home. Within the first 20 miles the rear tank which i had filled, was reading 1/4 full!so i switched to the front tank which was empty except for the $5 worth of gas i had put in.however, the front tank was now reading full!obviously the gas had gone somehow from the rear tank and up to the front tank.by the time i got about half way home, the cab of the truck was full of fumes.i stopped and got out because i developed a terrible headache.there was gas pouring from the underside of the truck.upon closer inspection, i realized the gas was spilling out from the rear tank at the area where the gas goes in at.when i checked the gauges the rear tank was now full (remember 30 minutes earlier it was only 1/4 full and the front tank was reading full),.the tank was obviously over full because it was spilling out from the area where the hose goes in to fill the tank.

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.

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.

Tires on my f150 show abnormal wear on the outside edges. Ford says this is due to the suspension. Ford does not have a fix. I claim that this is a suspension issue, not a tire issue. I have since bought a new checrolet tahoe. Could this issue be related to the tire issues on current ford suv's? i think that the tires are not the problem rather ford supspension is the problem that causes abnormal tire wear and heating of the tires, esp. In texas. This wears the outer edges of the tires, eventually causing the outer tread to fail or seperate from the tire. This is a definate problem on the ford f150 trucks, and i think it applies to the explorer. (tiresize: p235r15)( dot number:tire size: p235r15 )
