“While driving my dual tank 1995 Ford F-150, using the rear tank, I noticed fuel being forced out of my front fuel filler cap. Not sure how much fuel was pumped out prior to my noticing. I had to let the truck sit while the fuel vapor dissipated. I finally got it home using the front tank. Not sure what to do with it now.”
NHTSA complaint #11375735, filed 2020-11, 194,720 miles“My truck has dual fuel tanks. Fuel from the front tank is diverted into the rear tank. This causes the rear tank to overflow gasoline out of the gas cap. This happens when the truck's engine is running and it is stationary or in motion. I have to make sure the rear tank is never more than half full to keep this from happening. When I first discovered the problem I looked online and found other owners of this truck having the same problem. I believe it can be a fire hazard if leaking fuel should contact the trucks exhaust system. I own another Ford f150 truck with the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11414198, filed 2021-04, 200,000 miles“My 1995 Ford F-150 has duel gas tanks and the rear tank straps have corroded causing the tank to loose all fuel(1/2 tank) leaking over the spare tire and underside of the tank. This started with the smell of raw fuel in july but could not find the leak until 3 days ago when I found a large gas spot on the drive way directly under the rear tank and the dripping fuel from the spare. I have not taken it to the dealer yet but am planning to this week. The tank has quit leaking due to being pretty well empty. But the odor is still there. …”
NHTSA complaint #10419593, filed 2011-08, 74,602 miles“Leaking fuel tanks. Both of my fuel tanks leak on my 1995 Ford f150. This is not an isolated incident. I also have a 1992 f150 with the same problem. Ford has known about this problem. For years, yet has done nothing to correct the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10049367, filed 2003-12, 56,500 miles“Our 1995 Ford F-150 burst into flames in our garage after being parked and not running for one hour. It was fine just ten minutes before the fire started. The fire in the garage caught the entire house on fire - we lost everything, although no personal injury. State farm forensic report shows origin to be driver side, on the engine side of the fire wall, and having something to do with the brake mechanism (I'm still waiting for a copy of the report). Can you compare my complaint to others and maybe tell me what might have started this fire? …”
