1995 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

The contact owns a 1995 Ford F-150 equipped with a Clutch Max Clutch Kit sold by Clutch America. The part and serial numbers were unknown. The contact stated that while making a right turn into a parking lot, the clutch pedal was depressed and went to the floor and seized. The contact stated that the clutch had disengaged. The contact managed to manually get the shifter into neutral and drifted into a parking space and turned off the vehicle. The contact stated that the stem connected to the hydraulic cylinder in the bell housing had detached. The contact stated that the part popped out from the hydraulic unit. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000. Consumer stated clutch slave cylinder failed just one month of driving.

My vehicle has 2 fuel tanks. In the last month I have been noticing that the rest tank is pushing gas to the front tank. I have also noticed a strong fuel smell if I select the rear tank first after filling both tanks. Looking on line there is a NHTSA recall on 1990-1993 models. NHTSA # 93v125000. This appears to be a common occurrence on multiple years from what complaints are on line. I have not had the vehicle inspected. I just figured out what the issue is. A mechanic told me that the strong gas smell is the front tank over filling by the rear tank. He said there is a check valve that needs to replaced.

WHILE DRIVING MY DUAL TANK 1995 FORD F-150, USING THE REAR TANK, I NOTICED FUEL BEING FORCED OUT OF MY FRONT FUEL FILLER CAP. NOT SURE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS PUMPED OUT PRIOR TO MY NOTICING. I HAD TO LET THE TRUCK SIT WHILE THE FUEL VAPOR DISSIPATED. I FINALLY GOT IT HOME USING THE FRONT TANK. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH IT NOW.

AFTER GETTING HOME FROM A TRIP, I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER WE'D BEEN HOME.
