Tl-the contact owns a 1997 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that fuel spilled from the vehicle and onto the ground as the contact attempted to refuel the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic whom located the failure at the fuel filter neck hose, which was cracked due to corrosion. The vehicle was repaired and the fuel filter neck hose was replaced. The manufacturer denied any assistance with the repair due to the vehicle's age. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000 and the approximate current mileage was 210,000. Kmj.

Last year I started noticing a gas smell when filling. Beginning of this year I noticed gas leak on ground when filling. I am now in the process of replacing the gas fill pipe, it has deteriorated to an unusable condition. Whether this is because of the gasohaul used in mn. Or poor quality in the manufacturing I couldn't tell you,but when I ordered the part they told me the same thing happened to their delivery truck. I believe this is an unsafe condition and should be looked into before there is an explosion or fire in a gas station while someone is filling their truck. Please contact me if more information is needed or what is being done with this matter.

I own a 1997 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 4. 0ltr. Many shops have work on the front axel wheel bearings and seals and retainer nut this nut takes a socket 2. 3/8 r-6 most shops don't have it so they use what ever they have,chisell,locking plyers ect. . . Creating front end damage to wheel bearings,seals, brakes,calipers,brake drums, most of al the tires. . I have spent thousands of dollars because they did not use the right tool for the job also did not remove lcking pin from spindel.
