![]() Vehicle has not been subject to any rough treatment. When Ford got the vehicle they basically said this was an owner abuse and was not a defect. Called Ford dealer and were informed it was under warranty-informed them of observations and action we took. When assistant touched the hose at source of leakage to pull hose off, the plastic connection on the pump broke off (no force was applied). A huge amount of gasoline was sprayed out when the pump was energized. Reinstalled fuse and rapidly turned key on and off with 2 persons watching. Vent hose to filler cap was broken at top of tank (this is not a hose that normally has gasoline or pressure. We removed the fuse to fuel pump relay and towed vehicle (100 ft) to area where we could wash gasoline off with water hose and pushed vehicle into shop and removed pickup bed to get a visual at leak area. Immediately got assistance and determined that gasoline was coming from area at top of fuel tank-area of fuel pump (by turning key on a 1-2 seconds while assistant watched under pickup). Looked under vehicle and saw a pool of gasoline with gasoline dripping from all around fuel tank and surrounding area. Walked to rear of vehicle and saw a trail of gasoline splatters behind 2008 Ford F150. Drove approximately 3 miles and when exited vehicle, strong odor of gasoline. ![]()
