Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Cannot fill fuel tank more than 1/2 full. this has been an ongoing problem since beginning of ownership. 4 trips to the dealership including tank, filler neck & sender replacement has not resolved the problem. as an experienced auto technician of 27 years i inspected the design of the fuel tank and determined that the "saddlebag" design is flawed at the top and center, where that section is only about 5 mm thick and is higher than the top left and right sides, not allowing fuel to flow into the righthand side. i have an appoint with the ford dealership in ft pierce on monday, november 19th, 2007. at that time i intend to relay my opinion on this matter, however i'm not expecting a satisfactory answer from them. *tr |
