I have read of many instances where this has happened to other Ford owners. …”
NHTSA complaint #10670815, filed 2015-01, 112,000 miles“After backing my camping trailer into my driveway after a 4 hour trip I noticed fuel on the trailer tongue and smelled a strong smell of diesel. Looking under the truck while it was still running I observed diesel fuel pouring out on the ground from the motor. I quickly shut the motor off before a fire resulted from the hot motor. Later, after searching for the source of the leak it was found that a metal clip that was secured around a steel fuel line and had rubbed through the line causing fuel to leak out on top of the motor.”
