1 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/18/2012

The motorcraft fuel filter on my 2002 Ford Mustang cracked at the seam where the inlet nipple is attached to the body of the filter. Gasoline was spraying out of the crack and leaking on the ground. The wynn filter I purchased to replace it with uses a one piece filter body which is much safer. Has anyone else reported the filters breaking and leaking?.

2 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Owner describes failure as intermiitent loss of engine, shutting off with no warning. Sometimes while driving at night all electrical power fails. Dealership did a drive and maintenance check. The dealership replaced the wiring harness and returned the vehicle to the owner. Now the engine keeps high acceleration with the rpm constantly in the "red" even with foot off of the accelerator pedal. Problem can't be duplicated so the dealership doesn't have an actual fix. Please describe details. Mr.
