SUBJECT:
Safety Recall 93S68 - All 1990, 1991, 1992 and certain 1993 Model Year F-Series Vehicles equipped with 4.9, 5.0, 5.8 or 7.5 Liter Engines and Dual
Fuel Tanks.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
All 1990, 1991, 1992 and certain 1993 model F-series vehicles equipped with 4.9, 5.0, 5.8 or 7.5 Liter engines and dual fuel tanks.
REASONS FOR RECALL
Some of the affected vehicles may experience a cross tank fuel flow condition due to a damaged check valve in the fuel pump/sender assembly. Fuel may
be supplied from one tank and some or all of the unused fuel may be returned to the other tank. Should this occur, the capacity of the receiving tank may
be exceeded and fuel may overflow from the filler cap. Fuel spillage in the presence of an ignition source could potentially result in a fire.
To correct this condition, the fuel pressure regulator will be replaced and a check valve will be installed between each fuel supply line and fuel tank.
FREE FUEL LINE REMOVAL TOOL
Standard fuel line removal tools can be used to disconnect fuel lines. However, because of the number of vehicles to be serviced, two free tools (#
T93T-9550-AH) will be provided to each Ford dealer. These tools will be in your next Dealer Mail System (DMS) shipment (DMS packing slip #
930902).
PARTS KIT CODES
The required parts kit code for each vehicle will be shown on the attached VIN listing and will be printed at the top of each Owner Letter. Ask owners
for the kit code shown on their letter when the owner calls for a service appointment.
