I was traveling on rt. 64 heading east toward rt 59 in west chicago when I suddenly heard a thud followed by a scraping noise coming from what I first thought was the bed of my 2002 f150. I pulled off the road to check and didn't see anything wrong from the suspected area. I drove a little longer and when the noise wasn't stopping, I pulled over again and noticed one of the brackets holding my gas tank was dragging and the front half of my gas tank was on the ground. The bracket was rusted through and fallen away on one side. I was absolutely shocked at this problem because I had just had my truck in the shop a few months before and there was no mention of any rust issue with the bracket from the shops I had been in. I had the fuel pump and filter replaced in Jan. 2010 and there was no mention of rust issues with the bracket then.

I was driving my Ford f15o pick up truck and heard something like I dropped an exhaust pipe. Luckily I was driving slowly about 20-25 mph. I stopped and got out to see what had happened. My gas tank that I had just filled the other day fell off. Both straps broke and I was dragging the tank on the ground. I had it towed to my house for repair. After noticing that the fuel fill pipe had rusted off near the tank and both straps had failed. I decided it was to much for myself to repair. I believe I need a new gas tank and new straps. Fuel was thrown up under my truck. I contacted Ford but they were of little help. Probably not going to buy another one. A ten year old truck this shouldn't happen to! there was no fire but I'm really glad I didn't have my grandson in the truck or that I was driving down the highway!.

Accelerated from intersection; heard noise; thought was exhaust pipe dropped and was being dragged; smelled fuel; stopped and saw that fuel tank had fallen onto the road; tank more than 3/4 full had split and was leaking fuel; called 911 for fire department and police; fire department lifted tank and fuel gushed out; fire department used a wedge of wood to plug tank as good as possible though tank was nearly empty by that time; tow truck arrived; towed truck to dealer; cleaned up more about 19 gallons of fuel; will discuss repairs with dealer tomorrow; assumption is that a new tank, straps and possible fuel line will be needed. Do not believe police made a report since no accident or injuries occurred. Updated 12/08/10.

Fuel tanks. Filled rear tank and opened front tank to fill it. When I took cap off gas splashed out. The front tank was over full. I talked to a Ford mechanic and he told me that it was a valve in the return line that caused the front tank to over fill from the rear tank. He also said that Ford did repair some trucks ,but wasn't doing it now.

Dual gas tanks. Gas is pressurized from rear tank to the front tank, causing a fuel transfer to the front tank, front tank is overfilling, gas is under pressure, spilling from the overflow. When the cap is removed, gas explodes from the filler neck.

The consumer stated while filling the gas tank, the nozzle flew. The consumer assumed the hose nozzle was faulty which did not allow him to pump gas. The dealer stated the fuel filler valve sticking.

While refueling the gasoline tank, the nozzle caught fire and burned the side of the truck. The vehicle was off, driver does not smoke and there was no immediate known reason for the fire to start. No cell phone useage. Keys were not in the ignition. Possible static electricity.

Filler neck cracked and had to be replaced. Manufacturer should have covered the repairs under warranty or repaired it for free and this is a safety/emissions problem and not something caused by the owner.
