F 150 2WD Pickup V8-351 5.8L Lightning (1993)
Fuel Pressure Regulator: Recalls
Recall 00V424000: Fuel Pressure Regulator Malfunction
Light duty trucks and cab chassis equipped with gasoline engines and dual fuel tanks. The carbon steel fuel pressure regulator in the fuel system can wear
out during the life of the vehicle. If the fuel pressure regulator malfunctions, it can cause high fuel system pressure, which damages the fuel pump check
valve. This allows fuel to be transferred from one tank to the other, possibly overfilling the non-operating tank, resulting in fuel overflow past the filler
cap.
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a vehicle fire.
Dealers will have a stainless steel fuel pressure regulator installed.
Owner notification is expected to begin during May 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do
not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
