As according to ford safety recall 91s39 and safety recall 91v146000 my truck is leaking fuel into my front tank while i only use the back tank which is due to a faulty fuel tank selector valve but my local ford dealers wont fix the problem because either the campaign was already performed or my vehicle "wasn't" affected by this recall but yet the problem stated in the recall is present in my vehicle.

I have a 1989 ford f150 and the front fuel tank over flows every time i park it iv looked on the internet and found that the fuel tank selector is bad and cant bye another one so i need help with my truck the internet says it a recall.

Drove home after filling fuel tanks. Parked truck in garage and smelled gas. Checked 1989 ford f150 fuel tank and it was leaking onto the floor of the garage. Removed 1989 ford f150 from garage to driveway to check the problem out more. Removed rear fuel tank gas cap and gas stared running out of the tank on to the driveway. Gas stopped running out after a few minutes. Could this cause my ford f150 to catch on fire and burn my house down as the garage is under the house. I see there was a recall for this problem with 1989 ford f150. Can i get ford motor co. To fix this problem before a fire occurs. Need help to get ford motor company to fix the problem. Thank you *tr

Fuel started pumping out of the gas cap at a relatively high rate while driving on the freeway. When i stopped, fuel continued to pump out onto the ground until i turned off the engine. I went to loosen the gas cap to see what was going on and gas blew out onto me and on the ground (i would estimate 1-2 cups of fuel at least). This is an older vehicle- but extremely dangerous and i believe a serious safety issue. I found out from a local mechanic that ford issued a recall on my vehicle (recall number 91s39 / case #91v146000). However, ford never notified me of the recall and both my local dealer and ford's national service hotline claim they don't know anything about this safety recall and that they are not responsible since the vehicle is considerably out of warranty. My understanding is that there are no time limits on safety recall repairs. I am complaining because my fuel supply failure fits the description exactly as what is described in this safety recall and my vehicle is clearly one of the listed / affected vehicles as stated in ford's own safety recall documentation. *tr
