Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The origional fuel spill occurred when driving the vehicle down las vegas blvd s. i noticed that my fuel gauge was showing only half full on the rear tank when i had just filled the van. i then noticed i was trailing fuel down the street. i stopped the vehicle and noticed it was pouring fuel from the fill cap for the front tank. i switched to the front tank and the fuel spill stopped. i called the local ford dealer and the said it would cost over one thousand dollars to replace the part to fix this problem and would take a week to get the part. i went back to san diego and went to pearson ford and was told i would have to spend upwards of $1000.00 and they would have to order parts. i was told there was no recall on my vehicle. i have since aaquired the "91s39 safety recall" and called ford factory. they said my van wasn't recalled. i then aquired your nhtsa campaicn id number: 91v146000 and called the ford number --it is no longer in service. i called ford with the information again and again was told there was no recall on by van. i have had six instances of fuel spilling from the van and feel ford should replace the defective fuel tank selector . pleaqs help. *ak
