| Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems |
The fuel tank on this Ford e150 van leaks fuel during fill ups. The Ford dealer (pacifico Ford in broomall, PA) states that the vehicle needs a new gas tank. The fuel tank developed cracks and pin holes at the top of the tank. Research online states that the same problem occured with other Ford truck and vans and a recall was issued. The recall, namely 01v114000 covers Ford vans manufactured between 04/09/1996- 11/14/2000. My vehicle certificate of origin from for is dated August 28, 2000 and therefore proves that the vehicle was manufactured within the specified dates. This vehicle is used as a work truck, so it operates near the gross vehicle weight. Due to a lack of insulators seperating the tank and steel cross members, the constant rubbing caused the deteriation of the fuel tank.
