| Description of the problem | Ford f-150 2006 with 5. 4 l leaks fuel out of the top of the fuel tank when filling, the fuel stations pump does not shut off when the tank is full causing gasoline to be spilled on the ground. This started and then the fuel gauge stopped working so i have no idea how much fuel to pump before this happens at every fill-up. The dealer has replaced the fuel filler tube and has ordered a new fuel gauge but for two weeks has been unable to solve the problem. This is not only a safety issue but also an environmental issue. I was informed by an online ford expert mechanic, that there were other instances of fuel leaks on this model (gaskets at the fuel pump assembly). |
