Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Ford Ranger

Plastic fuel line split at the input of the fuel filter that is located behind the engine attached to the vehicle frame. When the ignition is turned on gasoline sprays from this crack piece of plastic line. This is due to the fact that the fuel pump is electric and energizes anytime the ignition is on the pump is located in the gas tank at the rear of the truck . This is potentially very dangerous as the spraying gasoline could easily hit the catalytic converter or exhaust system when the vehicle is in motion. Fortunately I noticed the leak under the vehicle when I was warming up the car on as cool morning. As a result no real damage was done. Will cost about $350 to repair.

I own a 1996 Ford Ranger v6, 4. 0l truck. Three incidents of the same nature has occurred on this vehicle. The incident does not happen all the time but when stepping on the gas pedal to accelerate, the vehicle continues to accelerate even after release of the gas pedal. I had taken the vehicle to a local Ford dealer and the mechanic advised that the throttle "sticks". I consented to their suggestion to have the throttle assembly replaced to correct the problem, which will cost me approximately $400. I understand there is a technical service bulletin (number: 99-23-5) which was published in November 1999 for the 1996 Ford Ranger 2wd v6-182 3. 0l engine truck with a problem of "throttle sticking". I would like to report that the 4. 0l engine also has the same problem.
