: the contact stated while driving at no specific speed, spillage occurs from the secondary gas tank. Regardless, of the amount of fuel that is in the primary or secondary tank the spillage happens. The contact informed the dealer of the problem. The vehicle has not been taken to the dealer for inspection or repair. Updated 03/28/06.
Ford-F150 with 2 fuel tanks. Rear fuel tank leaks gas from bottom of tank above spare tire. This truck is only 8 years old and is always in use/tanks are always rotated.
The truck is equipped with dual fuel tanks. When the truck is running on the rear tank, and the front tank is full, the rear tank pumps fuel into the already full front tank, causing it to overflow out of the fuel cap and spill down the side of the truck onto to the ground. The Ford dealer said that the 1989 to 1993 models were covered by a recall for this problem, but not the 1995 models. I called Ford but they would not do anything. I believe that a recall should be ordered on this problem this could be a real fire hazard.
After filling up truck, gas will flow from one tank to the other causing an overflow of gas to leak through gas cap. There is a recall for this problem, however not for this year vehicle.
Fuel is leaking from rear fuel tank. Had a dealership confirm this. Contacted Ford and received no help what so ever. Its my problem. I have also had to rebuild my transmission. But this is my last Ford product. Next is going to be a Toyota.
