gas

My skid plate rotted off of my 94 4wd. I was able to remove the 3 pieces, and will leave them off for now. The rear strap is fine, i'll leave that alone. Is the skid plate what the front strap bolts to? Would an additional rear strap be able to be mounted in the front position to hold the tank...

Hello, I have a 2014 Explorer. I tried it fill it with gas but the hole was blocked...by a metal part. What can I do first, before taking it to a dealer? Thanks! Bill

Hey guys... Looking for some help on my 2023 Ford Explorer Limited. My truck got rear ended on the drivers side quarter panel on May 30th while it was parked in front of my house. The truck has since been repaired, but every time I fill my gas tank up it spits back up when its at full tank (3...

After driving all over the area Wed, I realized my '02 Sport Trac needs a fuel pump and filter ASAP. I started by pulling the fuse for the fuel pump and cranking the engine to relieve the pressure. Of course, there's roughly 12 gallons of gas in the tank. I can't get a siphon tube thru the...

I have not heard anyone mention the gas tank in a 2002 Sport Trac for the 5.0 conversion. Did everyone use the original one in the Sport Trac? I now it has the fuel return where the Explorer (2000) does not. Appears the change it at the fuel filter to the tank and not any further toward the...

Anyone have a source / solution for a larger gas tank for a 2023 Explorer XLT? When pulling our RV, we get about 11mpg and have to stop every less than 3 hours for gas. Any other way to improve mpg? We have the tow package, and a brake controller. Pulling a 4k lb RV.

So I now actually noticed after a while that I smell raw gas outside the car and I can hear the fuel pump also. NOTHING LEAKING SO DONT JUMP ON ME. But does anyone know what that could be?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can offer advice on what I can do or modifications I can make that would increase the MPG on my 2003 Ford Explorer. I love this car, but it seems like its sucking gas even more than it used to before.

Today I went to look at a 91 Explorer XL 4x4 5 speed. Was a solid truck just had one thing that was a major concern. The fuel gauge doesnt work so I am guessing it is the sending unit.:thumbdwn:Is this a common thing? How difficult is it to replace the unit and about how much time is involved...

I have a 2003 Explorer. My gas tank was 1/4 full and I pulled into a gas station to fill it up. When I started up to leave, the gas gauge still read 1/4 tank even though I had just put $50 worth of gas in it. I turned it off and restarted it, and the same thing happened. As I drove it down...

I've searched these forums and can't find any mpg improvement threads. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting better gas mileage on a 3.0 v6 without blowing a financial gasket? My truck is a cab plus and currently gets 14.9 mpg in the city, which sucks! I got better in my 07 dodge 5...

I was pumping gas today, and for the second time in a matter of months, I noticed that when I clicked the pump to get the last drops, all of a sudden i hear liquid hitting the ground. I looked at the filling hole and nothing. I then looked under my car, only to see where gas had come out and...

What kind of fuel do you use in your rig? After Hurricane Sandy hit NY, I was forced to use Premium 92 Octane Gas for a few weeks because that was all that was available to me. I noticed NO difference in performance and mileage during that time. My truck seems to run well on BP 87 Octane. Does...

I have a 2000 Explorer, 2 door (sport, but not sport trac?), 4WD, 6 cylinder, SOHC, automatic. I've had it for 2 years. My truck is using more fuel than it used to and I'd like to know what factors can cause that before taking it into a shop for diagnosis. I live in Toronto and only have...

looking to install a fuel cell here and get it out from under my truck now the one i get is all i need is a sending unit with it new to the fuel cell game. Im a noob as gas ****. Sorry to the guy i took this pic from im planning on doing this on my truck

I usually get 13 mpg in the city, but my engine started to misfire and my mpg dropped down to 10mpg. I took it to the shop and they said I needed new plugs and wires so I had them install a set. I also had them install a new fuel filter. The engine sounds fine, but now my mileage has...

I have a 1995 Ford Explorer, V6, 4.0 Liter, automatic. Lately, and seemingly quite often, the truck doesn't seem to want to start when its warm. This problem seems to be getting worse lately. If the engine is cool, and I'm only driving to one destination, regardless of how long it takes to get...

I have a 1996 Explorer 4D 4x4 4.0L. I recently replaced a bad fuel pump, and also installed a new tank and hanger assembly. Until I did this, the gas gauge worked just fine. After install, it does not move off the bottom below 'E'. Dropped the tank and checked it with the pump removed from...

Thank you for letting me make my first post here, rather than in the Welcome Forum. I wanted to run on a bit. The '06 Ford Explorer wasn't my first choice, necessarily. I liked it fine, but I might have settled on a different ride if it was just for me. But it's really for my wife...

I have replaced the fuel pump, filter, I fabricated a bigger fuel tank as the original one had a lot of rot inside and out. Also the injectors, flushed fuel lines and new fuel relay.... I know I am forgetting something but I cant for the life of me figure it out. Any help is...

Hi there, i have a ford explorer 1997 4x4 SOHC with 105,000 miles. recently had lots of work done, new tranny, shocks, tires, and more little stuff. Now my gas gauge is EXTREMELY INACCURATE. As i am driving it is constantly moving, overtime i brake it goes up, when i access it goes dow...

It has been this way since I bought it. When this happens I have to roll down the hill to a flat part and then is starts fine. My sister-in-law has the same problem with her Eddie Bauer (mine is a Limited, by the way) and I am wondering if this is a common problem and whether there is any...

Alright, so I have and OBD code for an evap leak AND the check fuel cap light on. I started out by replacing the fuel cap twice and reseting the codes, but they pop back up the next day. Whenever I gas up the car, I get a strong smell of gas inside the cabin. I can't seem to locate the actual...

I thought I was ok on gas, and got in the car and it wouldn't start, after I filled the truck up with 10.00 worth of gas, It then started and would shut off, I could only keep it going if I didnt hit the breaks, could this be the fuel filter? it's a 97 ford explorer sport V6 4.0 L

Hey everyone, I just joined this site to hopefully find some help. I recently bought a 1994 explorer sport. I am currently encountering 2 separate problems. 1. Bad Gas Mileage The metal lines coming out of the fuel pump were corroded and leaking, so I had dropped the tank and replaced...

hey guys, i have a 2001 sport trac and the gas mileage is getting worse and worse. it was about 15 and last time i filled up, it was 11.8 any ideas as to what this could be, or how to go about correcting the situation. any suggestions would be great! thanks :)

I've got two quick questions. Recently, I told you guys that my 91 Nav's fuel and temperature gauges do not work, causing me to constantly worry about running out of gas. since I bought the truck, that's only happened twice, the second day after I bought it, and today. I was on my way the...

Hello all, My gas gauge was reading empty no matter what. I pulled the unit out and I had the good ol' sunken rotten float problem. I replaced the float for $10 and I thought my gas gauge problems were over! NOW, when I crank the explorer, the gas gauge goes to all the way FULL! I can't...

Aright guys here's the deal, my 2002 Explorer started having this problem about a month ago. While trying to pump gas, the pump clicks of every few seconds as if the tank is full. I tried pulling out the nozzle a little...and still no luck. However, gas does not shoot out of my tank like with...

Hi there yesterday at about 5-6pm i put on my chrome gas cap held on with 3m tape. Just wondering is it okay to drive the car now its been like 18hours but it been raining for the last 8 hours. Do u think it bonded enough. Thanks

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum but I've been creeping around for a while reading most of the posts in regard to 91-01 explorers. I just recently used my scholarship money to purchase a 2003 Ford Explorer sport 4WD 2dr. However, as I'm a student, I'm realizing my gas mileages are killing my...

I am planning to change the fuel filter on my 1999 OHV x-VIN explorer. Is there a relay or fuse that I can pull to relieve the fuel pressure? I recently changed the fuel filter on my 2003, and there was a relay that I was able to pull on that vehicle. beats messing around with the schrager valve...
