TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1988 FORD F150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT LOOKED UNDERNEATH IT AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING. HE DISCOVERED A RECALL FOR THE SAME FAILURE FOR THE 1989 MODEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT WHEN THE RECALL WAS ISSUED ON THE 1989 MODEL, THEY HAD TO INSTALL TWO FUEL PUMPS IN EACH TANK. THE DEALER ALSO INSTALLED A CHECK VALVE TO STOP THE LEAKAGE. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED THAT HIS VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A CHECK VALVE, WHICH WAS THE REASON FOR THE FUEL LEAK. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT FEELS THAT IT SHOULD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL FORD F-150, F-250 & F-350 TRUCKS FROM 1985 TO 1998 WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS. THE FRONT GAS TANK ON THESE VEHICLES TEND TO LEAK AFTER TIME CAUSING POTENTIAL HAZARDS OF FIRE & EXPLOSIONS. THERE ARE MANY F SERIES TRUCKS THAT HAVE THIS LEAKING PROBLEM & IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. *JB
