1990 Ford F-250 Fuel system Problems

“Reference NHTSA campaign # 93v125000 recall # 93s68. (1) the vehicle had been driven about one hour - while parking in front of the house on the street, I noticed a strong smell of gasoline. I was running on the back tank and quickly switched to the front tank. After shutting off the ignition and exiting vehicle I saw gasoline spilling out of the front tank from under the cap (still on). This continued for some 5-10 seconds and then stopped. When I loosened the cap, the flow of gasoline restarted - and stopped again when cap was tightened back down. …”

“I am the owner of a 1990 F-250, basically began smelling a fuel odor coming from the trucks cab while driving. Looked at the underside of the truck and found a small gas leak at the fuel lines under the pinch weld. Exact same issue as 94v040000, have not fixed problem because Ford cannot find this issue on there system.”

The consumer contacted the manufacturer who informed him that he was over the mileage and time allotted for the recall. The independent dealer replaced the faulty check valve, regulator and fuel pump but this did not correct the overflow condition.”

“I have a 1990 Ford f250 with duel gas tanks. The first problem was the truck would die for what seemed like no obvious reason. I had a diagnostic done to no avail. The truck would run fine cold, but once it got hot it would die. Finally I took it to a local mechanic and he found it was the tank selector switch which lets me choose the front or rear gas tank. This first switch cost me $300.00 to fix. Its been about 8 months since the switch was replaced. It just went out again. This time I replaced it myself with a switch from a Ford dealer. …”
