The 1984 Ford Ranger has 2 recalls, both tied to fuel system integrity concerns that can result in fuel leaking from the auxiliary tank.
The nylon fuel lines running to and from the auxiliary fuel tank may have been pinched or cut during assembly by the fasteners that attach a frame crossmember to the frame rails, which can allow fuel to leak. On some short-wheelbase trucks, those same crossmember fasteners may also be loose or missing, compounding the structural and fuel containment concern. A fuel leak near frame components raises the risk of fire.
