Vehicle description: 1990-1993 Ford F-series vehicles equipped with dual fuel tanks and 4.9, 5.0,5.8, or 7.5 liter gasoline fueled engines. Some vehicles can 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.
Consequence: Should this occur, the capacity of the receiving tank may be exceeded and fuel may overflow from the filler cap.
