Faulty fuel tank vent hose. When filling up the gas tank and the pump kicks off when full, gas pours onto pavement below. I pulled the part off the vehicle and found the hose was cracked all the way around. This part is all one unit with the fill line and it costs a whopping $247 to buy the part. I asked autoway Ford in St, petersburg Florida if they would pay for it but since it's not under recall they said they could not. We purchased one from gator Ford that same day. I noticed your site shows eight other complaints concerning this faulty hose. I would Venture to guess there are plenty more potential fires lurking under other Ford Ranger. We have the old part on hand if any body wants to inspect it.
