Two problems related to tank filler pipe and cap have been reported for the 2003 Ford E-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Tl-the contact owns a 2003 Ford e350. The contact stated the fuel tank on the inside was flaking off and clogging up the fuel pump and fuel filter. This causes the vehicle to not run when the vehicle was trying to go up the hill. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic shop who inspected the vehicle and found the clogged fuel pump and filter. The mechanic will replace the fuel tank at a cost to the contact of over $1000. The dealer was notified and informed him to contact NHTSA due to no recalls or warranty. The manufacturer was contacted and informed him there is no recalls or warranty and offerd no other assistance. The failure mileage was 100,000. Mw.
Failure of fuel vapor valve assembly part #f65z*9b593. Gas vapors build up in tank and are released under pressure when gas cap removed for refueling. Vehicle operates normally with no warning light for at least 30 days or more before check engine light comes on. I think it is fair to say under the correct conditions these vapors could ignite at gas pump when refueling. I have complete records of letters, phone calls and visits to Ford dealership, also defective valve was sent to Ford motor company and returned to me with a letter saying in part "returning part as we do not have facilities for inspecting or evaluation" I was also informed my request with service manager at gator Ford to meet with myself and rep. From Ford is not possible. I am original owner and vehicle has low mileage and well maintained. Parts letters and any other information you may need to investigate this matter will be provided from me at your request. Cordially yours, daniel trzaska.
