Fuel tank 1 seems to pump fuel into tank 2. fuel switch on "front" seems to indicate proper amount of fuel. Fuel switch on "rear" always reads full. Sometimes fuel will flow out of rear tank as soon as fuel cap is removed. I drove about 75 miles with the fuel switch on "rear". when I arrived at my destination, I unscrewed rear tank cap and fuel spewed out.......maybe a gallon or so.

Ref:een19-47774 (to be fwd by mail) the front tank strap on the vehicle failed and the tank dropped until supported by skid plate. Some diesel fuel spilled in garage, creating fire hazard but was cleaned up w/O incident. I contacted diehl Ford in bellingham wa as no Ford dealer in juneau ak at that time. I ordered and they sent 2 straps (F72Z-9054-ba), bolts&nuts which I found out later were not authorized by safety recall 11S21! I contacted the local (temporary) Ford repair facility--evergreen motor works relative to this repair and they discovered the safety recall 11S21 and stated that Alaska vehicles were not covered by this recall.I cotacted Ford Motor Co. By email and got the same answer. As a senior electrical engineer I know this is total bs as Alaska has much worse weather conditions than any of the :South 48" states covered by safety recall 11S21!! stanley Ford is now the local Ford dealer but still could not fix my Ford F250 tank strap under the recall but could fix the safety recall 09S09 speed control mod! it should be also noted that the driver seat belt buckle failed about the same time!! Ford co. Did not seem interested in this problem. I replaced this immediately as I feel safety is very important! signed/ [xxx] sr.
