Two problems related to other fuel system tank filling/charging have been reported for the 2001 Ford F-150. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2001 Ford F-150 based on all problems reported for the 2001 F-150.
Fuel tank / filler hose leaked and fuel ran onto the ground while filling the tank with gas, due to a hole caused by significant rusting.
When filling my gas tank a week ago, I noticed a strong fuel smell. I looked under my truck and saw fuel dripping from the seem of the gas tank. Now that I've lost half the fuel it no longer smells or leaks. Im certain this was a direct cause of salt chemicals used in ice removal, here in northern mn. The straps and frame cross member bars holding the cargo bed in place have also disappeared from rust corrosion.
