NOTICED GASOLINE RUNS FROM UNDER TRUCK WHEN TANK IS FILLED UP WITH GAS. ON 11/30/2010, FILLER NECK ON FUEL TANK CRACKED PROFUSELY AS WELL AS FUEL INDUCTOR LINE; FUEL WAS POURING OUT UNDER TRUCK AS I WATCHED THE GAS GAUGE GO FROM 1/4 OF A TANK FULL TO EMPTY IN 2 SECONDS. DEALER INDICATES THAT ORIGINAL FUEL INDUCTOR LINES (THAT FITS ON TOP OF TANK) AND TANK ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM FORD DEALER. ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

1993 FORD RANGER FUEL FILLER TUBE IS MADE OF STEEL AND MOUNTED SO ROAD SALT CAN CORRODE IT. FUEL FILLER TUBE LEAKS GASOLINE ON PAVEMENT EVERY TIME I REFUEL. PART IS $429 PLUS INSTALL. LEAKING FUEL AT THE GASOLINE STATION SEEMS DANGEROUS, WOULD YOU AGREE? *TR
