Battery problem #1

I own a Ford explorer 1988 bought new in 1999. I have only 36. 000 miles on it and last month I was just driving for about 2 miles when I sensed a powerful smell of gas. Pulled over imediately, opened the hood a I saw gasolin pouring on the engine and the batteries from the two fuel lines going into the feuel injection system in top of the engine. I have called Ford and they told me there is no recall on this. It should be because the Ford dealer where I have fixed the problem(700$ !!!!). Old me they encountered this problem other times. Please do an investigation before people will die burnt alive. I drove new, old and very old cars and I have never had or heard of this kind of problem. It is a major safety issue! please let me know if you will do something thanks sorin.
