Owner-reported complaints naming the fuel system system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Fuel system reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE FILLER NECK LEAKS GAS AT THE RUBBER HOSE. EVERY TIME YOU ADD GAS, DOES NOT HAVE TO BE FULL TANK. WE WERE GIVEN THIS VEHICLE WITH THE LEAK. CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE FIXED BY MECHANIC, WE HAVE A HOSE CLAMP AROUND THE RUBBER TO HOLD IT ON. THE ACTUAL METAL FILLER SECTION IN ROTTEN RUSTED AWAY. ONE TIME I PARKED AT A GAS STATION AND THEY THREATENED TO CALL POLICE TO HAVE ME TOWED, I NEVER HEARD OF THE GAS LINE LEAKING LIKE THIS BUT SEE ALOT ALOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR RANGE OF E150S. *TR

THE FUEL OVERFLOW HOSE FORD PART # F7U79170AA HAS ROTTED AND CRACKED APPROXIMATELY 1.5'' LONG JUST ABOVE THE CLAMP THAT SECURES IT TO THE FUEL TANK. AFTER REFUELING, THE GAS FUMES ARE QUITE STRONG AND WOULD LEAVE A PUDDLE OF FUEL UNDER VEHICLE. WOULD ALSO LOOSE FUEL WHEN DRIVING WHEN TANK WAS OVER 3/4 FULL. FUEL WOULD DRIP DOWN FROM ALL SIDES OF FUEL TANK. THE POSSIBILITY OF FUEL BLOWING BACK ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST AND BRAKES IS EXTREMELY HIGH. I AM HOLDING ONTO THE DEFECTIVE FUEL OVERFLOW HOSE IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. *JB
