NHTSA Complaint #729733 — 1992 FORD F-150

WHEN BOTH FUEL TANKS ARE FULL, PRESSURE BUILDS UP AND FORCES FUEL TO SPEW OUT OF ONE OF THE GAS CAPS. I HAVE HAD A COUPLD OF MOTORISTS FLAG ME DOWN TO TELL THIS AND THEN WHEN I STOP IT CONTINUES TO SPURT OUT FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN BOTH TANKS ARE LESS THAN FULL, THE FUEL WILL RETURN TO THE EMPTIER TANK EVERY TIME UNTIL BOTH TANKS BALANCE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE PRESSURE BUILD UP AND FUEL TO SPURT OUT OF THE GAS CAP. THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN HANDLED ON A RECALL NOTICE BY THE PRIOR OWNER OF MY TRUCK SO I AM TOLD BY FORD THAT THEIR OBLIGATION IS DONE. MY OPINION IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS STILL A SAFETY THREAT FROM FORDS PARTS (EVEN A SECOND SET OF PARTS AFTER THE RECALL). FORD INSISTS THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS. I AM HAVING MY MECHANIC FIX THIS FOR ME AT A PRICE OF NEARLY $800 SO I FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK THAT FORD WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR.
