What owners wrote
Started smoking from under the hood then caught on fire, caused by a fuel leak. Consumer was told that it was believed to be the fuel injector.
Filling my ford ranger with gas often leads to overflows onto the ground from underneath the truck; I.e. It does not overflow through the nozzle where gas is pumped in.
