Fuel tank: Auxillary selector and switch: The truck is equipped with dual fuel tanks. When the truck is running on the rear tank, and the front tank is full, the rear tank pumps fuel into the already full front tank, causing it to overflow out of the fuel cap and spill down the side of the truck onto to the ground. The Ford dealer said that the 1989 to 1993 models were covered by a recall for this problem, but not the 1995 models. I called Ford but they would not do anything. I believe that a recall should be ordered on this problem.

Fuel is bypassing from one tank to the next. This has created overflow conditions in one tank, resulting in a fuel leak. Consumer has made note of a recall for this problem, only affecting model year 1993.

Check valve damaged allowing fuel to be transfered from one tank to the other, overfilling the non-operating tank, and resulting in fuel overflow past the filler cap.
- South Portland, ME, USA
When both fuel tanks were partially full fuel would overflow from one valve to another, causing fuel spillage. Manufacturer has previously issued service bulletin, but did not include this VIN. Dealer has remedy but on consumer's expense. The manufacturer acknowledged the problem for pre 1993 vehicles but not for 1995 ones.
