1994 Ford Ranger Fuel System

FUEL FILLER HOSE ON BOTH OF MY 1994 FORD RANGERS HAVE CRACKED AND FUEL LEAKS WHEN FILLING TANK. SO FAR NO FIRES, BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *NM

WHEN I FILL THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, AN ESTIMATED 8-16 OUNCES OF GASOLINE LEAKS OUT OF TOP OF FUEL TANK. THIS IS A RESULT OF A CRACKED RUBBER "FUEL FILLER HOSE" WHICH INTERCONNECTS FUEL FILLER CAP WITH GAS TANK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY (FIRE HAZARD) AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. *JB

GAS TANK FILLER NECK OR LINES LEAKING. FUEL SYSTEM NON-COMPLIANCE FOR EMISSIONS AND THUS NO LICENSE.. GAS FUMES ALWAYS PRESENT,VERY POOR MILEAGE. *JB

THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK IS CRACKED AND LEAKS. *NM

THE FUEL FILLER HOSE HAS CRACKED ON MY 1994 FORD RANGER. THE HOSE IS VER HARD AND BRITTLE AND HAS CRACKED WHERE IT MAKES A BEND INTO THE TANK. WHEN I FILL THE TANK A LARGE QUANTITY OF GAS SPILS ON THE GROUND BEFORE THE PUMP KICKS OUT. I WAS SIMPLY GOUNG TO REPLACE THE HOSE BUT FORD WILL NOT SELL ME JUST THE HOSE THEY WANT TO SELL ME THE ENTIRE FILLER ASSEMBLY FOR ABOUT $ 300. THIS IS OUTRAGES TO HAVE TO PAY THIS MUCH FOR A HOSE THAT FAILED DUE TO A POOR DESIGN.

TRY TO FUEL AT THE GAS PUMP. WHILE FUELING GAS LEAKS OUT THE RUBBER HOSE THAT GOES TO THE GAS TANK APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 5 INCHES DOWN. THERE IS A CRACK IN THE HOSE DOES THIS HAVE TO ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE NHTDSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 94V-111 MY FORD RANGER WAS BUILT SEPTEMBER 1994

I OWN A 1994 FORD RANGER WITH THE 4.0L V6 ENGINE. FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL MY GAS TANK SAFELY. IF I FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY GASOLINE SPILLS FROM THE PLACE WHERE THE TANK MEETS THE INLET TUBE. THE INLET TUBE, WHICH SHOULD BE ENGINEERED TO HANDLE GASOLINE, IS CRACKED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION. THIS DEFECT IS A DANGER TO RANGER OWNERS DUE TO THE LEAKING OF FLAMMABLE GASOLINE. THE PRICE FOR A REPLACEMENT TUBE FROM THE DEALER IS ASTRONOMICAL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY GET A LOT OF RANGERS IN WITH THAT EXACT PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO FORD ON THE PHONE, AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME, TOO BAD. THIS DEFECT SEEMS TO BE EVIDENT IN YEARS 93-94. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY OTHER RANGER OWNERS AND THEY HAVE EXPRESSED THAT THE SAME DEFECT EXISTS IN THEIR TRUCKS. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE INJURY OR DEATH IS EXPERIENCED.*AK

THE FUEL FILLER NECK CRACKED BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC MATERIAL USED BY THE FACTORY. THIS CAUSED ABOUT FUEL TO LEAK OUT ONTO THE GROUND WHEN FUELING. THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE WITH THIS PART. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS AWARE OF OTHER VEHICLE'S THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. *SC *JB

NO EVENT FOR ME - YET - PROBLEM IS FUEL FILLER HOSE CRACKS NEAR THE GAS TANK CAUSING GAS AND VAPOR TO ESCAPE CREATING POTENTIAL FOR FIRE.*AK FORD SEEMS TO DESCRIBE THIS AS "ISOLATED & SINGLE INCIDENTS" YET WEB SEARCH SHOWS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. REPLACEMENTS PARTS ARE HARD TO GET - ALTERNATIVES - NONE FOUND.

FIRST OCCURRENCE OF FUEL SPILLING UNDER VEHICLE WHILE FILLING WITH GASOLINE. FUEL INLET HOSE HAS SPLIT AT RETAINING RIDGE ON CONNECTOR ON FUEL TANK.*AK

GASOLINE LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS FULL TO CAPACITY BECAUSE THE OUTER GASOLINE HOSE FAILED. THE HOSE HAD COMPLETELY DETERIORATED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THEY WOULD REPORT IT TO THE ENGINEERING UNIT. *AK THE FUEL FILLER IS A HOSE INSIDE A HOSE. THE INNER HOSE GOES DIRECTLY TO THE GAS TANK WHILE THE OUTER HOSE CLAMPS TO THE TOP OF THE TANK AND CONTAINS AND OVERFLOW. THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE OUTER HOSE IS NOT FUEL RESISTANT THEREFORE OVER TIME IT DETERIORATES. *NM

THE FUEL INLET HOSE WAS CRACKED WHICH CAUSED FUEL TO LEAK. *JB

THE FUEL TANK VENT HOSE ALLOWED AIR TO VENT FROM THE FUEL TANK DURING REFUELING. CRACKS DEVELOPED IN THE VENT HOSE. *JB
