2001 Ford Ranger Fuel system Problems

“While starting vehicle my wife was notified by her co-worker that gas was leaking onto the pavement under the driver's side of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to our dealer where we purchased the vehicle. We were told by the service manager the high pressure fuel line was damaged possibly by road debris, which we had replaced by the dealer. …”

“When trying to fill the gas tank, the overflow system(?) doesn't work properly. You cannot have hardly any pressure or, as you fill, the gas spews out of the tank before the safety feature on gas pumps can turn off. Gas spews down the side of the vehicle, out onto the ground, onto my hand, onto my feet. This creates a combustion possibility at the gas tank as well as the gas pump. This occurs about 99% of the time when I try to put gas into the tank. It doesn't matter how full the tank is. This is an ongoing problem. …”

“Chassis is severely rusted. You can break chunks of metal off with bare hands.both rear shock mounts have rusted off. Straps that hold gas tank have rusted through. Cross member holding tranny is severely rusted. Gas tank fill tube is severely rusted gas vapor return tube rusted off. Whole chassis. The whole frame is so rusted I am afraid to drive the truck. Truck only has 155,000 on it and has always been maintained (have all service records)”

“Frame is rusting away. Both rear shock mounts. Gas tank holding straps. Both chasis rails are rusting away with big chunks of steel falling off. Trans cross member rusting away”

“The right rear leaf spring shackel broke off from the frame due to rust. The spare tire carrier failed due to rust and caused the spare tire to drop. The steel shield under the gas tank dropped down due to rust.”
