    Liquid fuel in Evap system. Fuel tank/ lift pump issues?

    Have had quite a few looks over the past couple weeks for answers to this issue. I apologize if it’s been answered. For starters picked up a 2013 3.5 eco explorer from auction. 315000km. Was told the turbos had been replaced 15000km ago and the converters have been cut out. Gave the vehicle a...

    How to: Fuel Vapor Line Repair (EVAP)

    So this is more of a "How I did it" rather than a How-to, but I decided to fully document my repair as I found no info on this before. I don't know how helpful this will be for 91-92 owners, but I'm guessing the only real difference in the systems is that the vapor canister is in a slightly...

    Camshaft Position Sensor/Electrical Problems

    As stated in a previous post, I have multiple codes on my 2003 Ford Explorer Centennial Edition, 4.6L. After testing my alternator I figured most of them were due to it being weak.

    I am now hanged up on dropping my 21 gallon tank by the vapor tube not disconnecting from the Evap Vapor Check Valve. the tank is partially down a few inches.
