Moderate leak of fuel was observed after filling up the tank. We brought this to an auto repair shop and they indicated that the top of the tank was cracked. The tank needs replacement. We have a 1996 Ford Windstar gl. This was purchased in 1995. When I looked at the 1995 recalls I noticed that the 1995 models were recalled for this problem. I also think that this could have resulted in to a fatal accident if it had caught fire.

After and while raining there an excessive amount of water is getting into the fuel tank from the fuel filler door. This is causing the vehicle to stall frequently or not start at all. After a couple of bottles of dry gas are added the stalling is stopped until more water gets into the gas tank. There is no type of weatherstripping around the fuel filler door that prevents moisture from coming into the fuel filler area and there is alway water there after rain or snow. I have gone to several Ford dealerships to look at similar Ford Windstars and even the new Ford freestar minivan and found randomly that on some of those cars there was a rubber stopper attached to the fuel filler door which looks like it would create a seal to prevent water from coming in. However most of the vehicles that I looked at did not have that rubber stopper on the fuel filler door yet it clearly looks like it belongs there.
