Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My local ford dealer refused to service my vehicle for the following: nhtsa id no.: 91v-146 date of company notification: 9-4-91 make: ford model: econoline model year: 1989-91 model: f-150, f-250, f-350 model year: 1989 number of vehicles: 350,000 mfg. campaign no. 91s39. fuel tank, auxiliary. dom: 2/89-2/91. dual function fuel reservoir may malfunction and cause an overfill condition in one of the fuel tanks, resulting in an overflow of fuel past filler cap. overflow of fuel past filler cap causes a fuel leakage, which can result in fire when exposed to a source of ignition. correct by replacing dual function fuel reservoirs with new reservoirs containing o-rings of a revised material. they said this applies only to the pick-ups, and not the econoline van. another dealer say that vin number indicated that this was completed already, which i know was not... i am the original owner... and is the exact problem i am having is stated above... the fuel is spilling on the ground when i switch on the rear fuel tank.
